SEEN 10 SEPT · FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW
Went in for the genre thrills and mostly got them, though the middle section sags noticeably. The setup is genuinely gripping — strong hook, clear stakes, well-drawn central conflict. Execution in the back half can't quite match the promise of the opening thirty minutes. Technical work, particularly editing during the tense sequences, is consistently strong throughout. A supporting performance nearly steals the whole film in limited screen time. Not the best in its genre this year, but comfortably above average.

First day first show
Curious if you've seen the director's earlier work too.
This one's better the less you know going in, agreed.
The interval block alone is worth the ticket honestly.
I had a slightly different reaction but I see where you're coming from.
Still thinking about the ending days later.
Criminally overlooked at the time of release.
First half is a breeze, second half tests your patience a bit.
Music was the real hero of this one.
I had a slightly different reaction but I see where you're coming from.
Put this on expecting background noise, ended up glued to it.
Everyone slept on this when it released.
Your reviews are consistently the ones I trust here.
The cinematography deserved way more conversation than it got.
