About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re into surreal, reality-bending dramas that feel like a sick-day haze and don’t spell everything out, like Memoria; Not for you if you want a clear, straightforward story.
Pros: fever-dream atmosphere; unpredictable journey; darkly funny moments | Cons: deliberately disorienting; loose, wandering plot; demanding pacing
