About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a chilly, character-driven dark thriller with awkward humor and mounting tension, similar in vibe to Saltburn; Not for you if you need fast action or clear-cut likable leads.
Pros: tense slow-burn drama; sharp, uneasy friendship; darkly funny moments | Cons: very slow paced; tone may mislead; plot stretches believability
