About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, dialogue-driven story about manipulation and corporate cruelty that leaves you uneasy, in the vein of Naked; Not for you if you want likable leads, warmth, or a feel-good payoff.
Pros: sharply written dialogue; gripping moral discomfort; strong central performances | Cons: bleak mean-spirited tone; slow talky pacing; emotionally draining watch
