About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like moody, puzzle-like psychological stories that reward rewatching and discussion, in the vein of Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway; not for you if you want clear answers and a fast, straightforward plot.
Pros: eerie, engaging atmosphere; strong dual performance; thought-provoking mystery | Cons: slow, brooding pace; unclear, symbolic story; divisive, baffling moments
