About
You may be drawn to this if you can handle unsettling, morally thorny dramas in the vein of Kodachrome or Alex of Venice; Not for you if stories centered on disturbing adult-child dynamics are a hard no.
Pros: strong lead performance; thought-provoking premise; haunting atmosphere | Cons: deeply uncomfortable tone; boundary-pushing story; divisive moral framing
