About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, noir-leaning character drama with light suspense and a reflective mood, similar to Too Late or Knox Goes Away; Not for you if you need fast action or tidy answers.
Pros: strong, lived-in performances; moody, intriguing tone; thoughtful character focus | Cons: slow, deliberate pacing; uneven shifts in mood; ambiguous, unsatisfying wrap-up
