About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a twisty, slightly surreal mystery that mixes psychological drama with a dreamy edge, like The Girl on the Train or Solace; Not for you if you dislike slow builds or odd, unsettling family stories.
Pros: intriguing mystery setup; strong cast; dreamy atmosphere | Cons: slow to start; twist feels predictable; uneven, weird tone
