🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film uses anxiety as a tool: applied precisely, in the right places. Doesn't let you relax, but doesn't overdo it.
A thriller that rewards on repeat viewing: you notice things the second time around. Worth revisiting.
For fans of suspense and psychological tension. If you need action — this is a different film.

Viewing atmosphere: A dark evening, in quiet. Better with someone — there'll be things to talk about after.
