About
If you liked the tense, street-level pressure of Good Time or Uncut Gems, this offers a harsher, more intimate look at addiction and survival; Not for you if you want uplifting stories, clear plot momentum, or an easy watch.
Pros: raw realism; intense emotional pull; humane, nonjudgmental tone | Cons: bleak and unsettling; loose, aimless story; repetitive street-cycle
