About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, tense thriller that lingers on ethics and consequences more than action, in the vein of Wendy and Lucy; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or big set pieces.
Pros: slow-burn tension; strong lead performances; thought-provoking moral questions | Cons: very slow pacing; thin character backstory; ending divides viewers
