About

You may like this if you enjoy bleak, offbeat dystopian sci-fi like Code 46 or The Congress, especially with conspiracy and paranoia at the center; Not for you if you want fast pacing or clear-cut answers.

Pros: haunting atmosphere; striking animation style; suspenseful dystopian setup | Cons: very slow pace; muddled plot logic; flat characters
