About
You may like this if you want intimate, idea-driven sci-fi with grief and moral tension, somewhere between Vesper and My Zoe; Not for you if you want fast pacing, clear answers, or lots of alien action.
Pros: strong lead performance; haunting atmosphere; thought-provoking moral dilemma | Cons: slow to get going; disjointed storytelling; unsatisfying ending
