🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs suspense by relying on the protagonist's subjective perception and skillfully works with audiovisual distortions to blur the line between real and imagined. The film explores themes of medical ethics and institutional trust through the lens of an unreliable narrator.
What lingers after the credits is a disquieting uncertainty about where psychosis ends and truth begins. Those who tire of straightforward narratives will appreciate this deliberately unsettling puzzle. — MovieFinder Editorial
