About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like offbeat dark romcoms with surreal reality-bending energy, like Stuck or The Matador; Not for you if graphic violence, unsettling tone changes, or heavy delusion-focused plots bother you.
Pros: quirky dark comedy; standout central performance; inventive genre blend | Cons: tone shifts feel uneven; graphic violence jarring; some characters feel thin
