It is an intriguing and disquieting movie, though one whose storytelling impulse slows a little, and perhaps the film could have benefited from closer editing. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com Oct 9, 2026

Neal O @RT35103581 4 days ago Relies way too much on mood to hide a plot that is basically nonsensical. The lead teleports inexplicably about as required to push the "plot" forward, vacillating between super-competence and incompetence like a buoy in a hurricane.
