Tragically beautiful

"A video game designer's trauma following a fire manifests in a frightening obsession."

9/10

Wow. I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I think this is the best picture by Carlos Vermut. Obviously you have to like slow burns - but I actually do and this is a hell of a slow burn, beautifully acted and directed!

It explores complex themes, offering the audience an unsettling yet stimulating experience.

It takes a while to get going, but if you stick with it you will be rewarded with an unnerving, disturbing and ultimately brave third act. I promise you won't forget it anytime soon.

This is an uneasy watch, but it's definitely worth it.
