About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an absurd, funny-yet-unsettling obsession story that keeps getting stranger, in the vein of Inside, with a darkly comic crime edge; Not for you if you hate surreal humor or discomfort.
Pros: absurd, endearing humor; killer style vibe; strong lead performances | Cons: confusing opening stretch; deliberately unhealthy tone; very bizarre premise
