Reviews
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
