About
You may like this if you want a dark, twisty crime thriller about bullying, guilt, and bystander silence, in the vein of Sheep Without a Shepherd or Lost in the Stars; Not for you if harsh cruelty and moral bleakness are a dealbreaker.
Pros: tense and gripping; thought-provoking themes; keeps you guessing | Cons: messy plotlines; confusing turns; very depressing tone
