About
You’ll likely like Hallam Foe if you enjoy a quirky, uneasy coming-of-age mystery with a suspenseful Edinburgh vibe and a bold central performance; Not for you if voyeurism or uncomfortable character behavior grosses you out, or if you want something more straightforward like Submarine.
Pros: engaging performances; eerie city atmosphere; keeps edge-of-seat tension | Cons: plot feels far-fetched; lead can be hard; voyeurism may offend
