🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a layered narrative that relies on the literary source material, exploring the blurred lines between reality and simulation through a noir-inflected detective story. It builds tension not with action, but with psychological intrigue and shifting timelines.
What lingers after the credits is a sense of pervasive ambiguity, a puzzle where the most satisfying answers are those you question yourself. — MovieFinder Editorial
