About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, realistic moral mystery about guilt and responsibility, closer to Two Days, One Night than a twisty thriller; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big surprises, or high drama.
Pros: strong lead performance; grounded, realistic tone; moral questions linger | Cons: slow, repetitive stretches; predictable mystery beats; emotionally restrained lead
