About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like jet-black, awkward comedy that slowly turns tense and bleak, with petty conflicts spiraling into bigger consequences; Not for you if you want light laughs or surprises like in Soul Kitchen.
Pros: jet-black humor; sharp suburban satire; tense escalation | Cons: predictable turns; uneven tone shift; not very memorable
