About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you’re into slow, surreal sci‑fi that prioritizes mood, color, and music over clear answers, especially if Mandy appeals to you; Not for you if you need fast pacing or straightforward storytelling.
Pros: hypnotic dreamlike atmosphere; striking neon visuals; memorable synth music | Cons: very slow pacing; thin plot clarity; sparse mumbled dialogue
