About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, talky thriller-drama about perception, power, and identity that keeps you guessing; Not for you if you need clear answers, faster pacing, or lighter viewing like Bad Genius.
Pros: tense, uneasy mystery; sharp, debate-like dialogue; strong performances | Cons: slow-burn pacing; themes feel crowded; some repetition
