About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, hypnotic relationship mystery that lingers in your mind and rewards repeat viewing; Not for you if slow burns, heavy adult content, or unsettling vibes like Blue Velvet aren’t your thing.
Pros: eerie, dreamlike mood; thought-provoking themes; memorable masked sequence | Cons: slow pacing; overlong runtime; repetitive dialogue
