“This is a very strong film, unless you only like fast-paced action films; Iu0026#39;m going to go out on a limb and say youu0026#39;ll probably like this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs is the norm with A24… itu0026#39;s a good film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI donu0026#39;t really have much to complain about. I belied in the world of the film, I believed the characters were real, etc– the world and logic of the film was well established. There were a few tropes of the genre, but some strong writing and direction makes one look past this without really thinking about it.nI actually cared about the story and wanted to see how things played out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story is a bit disjointed, but I think that works to the filmu0026#39;s benefit due to the type of storytelling itu0026#39;s going for, which overall is very effective.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;d recommend this film to pretty much everyone that likes good movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e8 out of 10”
