About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like talky, dark comedies where a single evening unravels into arguments, secrets, and satire; Not for you if you need warm, relatable characters or a grounded, realistic setup like The Kid Detective.
Pros: sharp dark humor; strong ensemble performances; brisk runtime | Cons: stagey and contrived; unlikeable thin characters; uneven, messy pacing
