🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This adaptation constructs a paradoxical philosophical parable at the intersection of sci-fi and psychological thriller. Director David Lowell Rich relies on minimalist television aesthetics to explore the fragility of existence and the ethics of altering reality.
What lingers after viewing is a hypnotic journey through a maze of alternate worlds, where each narrative turn questions the very nature of progress and utopia. A quietly unsettling meditation on unintended consequences. — MovieFinder Editorial

Alone, late at night, when the world outside feels particularly malleable.
