About

You may like this if you want a raw, off-kilter mix of slacker friendship, romance, and sudden violence with a Mad Max-ish DIY obsession; Not for you if you need a tidy plot or steady pacing like Upgrade.

Pros: bold, original vibe; intense emotional swings; memorable DIY mayhem | Cons: messy, rambling story; uneven acting; ending feels unsatisfying
