About
If you enjoy dreamlike, conspiracy-tinged mysteries that feel like a puzzle box, this could click—especially if you liked Beau Is Afraid or The OA; Not for you if you need clear answers, tight pacing, or a likable lead.
Pros: surreal mystery ride; playful pop-culture clues; bold, offbeat atmosphere | Cons: overlong and meandering; messy, unresolved threads; uncomfortable male-gaze moments
