About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn relationship drama wrapped in an eerie mystery and don’t mind ambiguity; Not for you if you need clear explanations, fast scares, or tidy plotting like in Lamb.
Pros: eerie, tense mood; strong performances; striking Iceland setting | Cons: very slow pace; unclear answers; uneven genre mix
