About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, absorbing family drama that turns a disappearance into a harsh look at selfishness and modern life, in the vein of Leviathan; Not for you if you need warmth, likable characters, or clear closure.
Pros: gripping missing-child mystery; intense emotional drama; haunting winter atmosphere | Cons: very bleak tone; slow pacing; unresolved, open-ended feel
