About
You may like this if you enjoy bleak, meditative sci-fi with an unusual mood and a focus on survival and human desire; Not for you if you want clear answers or steady thrills, and it may appeal if you liked The Survivalist or First Reformed.
Pros: haunting atmosphere; bold original idea; strong lead performance | Cons: slow pacing; vague storytelling; uneven tone
