About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, tense crime drama about wannabe dealers and the harsh reality behind the hype, similar in feel to Calm with Horses or Heaven Knows What; Not for you if you dislike bleak violence or rough characters.
Pros: tense and gripping; gritty realism; strong performances | Cons: divisive ending; some forced plot points; hard watch at times
