About

You may enjoy this if you like strange, twisty thrillers that feel dreamlike and keep you guessing, somewhat like The Truman Show; Not for you if you want grounded realism, natural dialogue, or a tidy, fully explained story.

Pros: bold, unpredictable story; strong lead performances; eerie island mood | Cons: awkward, stilted dialogue; messy, confusing plotting; divisive late turns
