🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a chilling character study, relying on the stark contrast between clinical obsession and the feverish heat of jealousy. It explores the dark underbelly of genius, where the passion to document life collides with a possessive passion to control it.

What lingers after viewing is the unsettling echo of a mind unraveling, frame by meticulous frame, in the very medium it helped to create. — MovieFinder Editorial
