About
You’ll likely like Limbo if you enjoy character-driven tension in remote Alaska and don’t need a tidy wrap-up; Not for you if you want a clear, satisfying ending or prefer straightforward thrillers like Passion Fish.
Pros: strong character work; tense coastal setting; captivating performances | Cons: bleak, unfinished feeling; slow pacing complaints; divisive trip outcome
