About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, character-driven story about reinvention and everyday dissatisfaction rather than a flashy competition movie, somewhat in the reflective vein of Love & Mercy; Not for you if you need fast pacing or lots of puzzle-world detail.
Pros: strong lead performance; gentle, thoughtful tone; grounded humor | Cons: slow, meandering pace; limited competition focus; divisive character choices
