About
You may like this if you enjoy moody, offbeat romantic mysteries with carnival unease, somewhere between Spring and Isle of the Dead; Not for you if you want fast pacing or clear-cut horror.
Pros: eerie seaside mood; dreamlike mystery; haunting romance | Cons: slow pacing; talky stretches; divisive ending
