About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, darkly comic cult story that turns into a tight psychological duel and keeps you guessing; Not for you if you dislike slow, talky movies or ambiguous endings like in I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore.
Pros: darkly funny tone; strong lead performances; unpredictable story turns | Cons: slow, confined setting; uneven genre shifts; ambiguous, divisive ending
