Reviews:
“While audacious, the contemporary approach of the narrative may resonate only with a subset of viewers, especially those inclined toward dialogue-dense movies. The screenplay’s elaborate enigma imbues the narrative with an appealing mystique, albeit it appears trapped within its intricate maze at times. The character development also oscillates between eliciting amusement and providing profundity, leading to a few fumbled attempts.” 2 out of 5, Overly Honest Movie Reviews
