Hyptnotic, poetic, and kind of harrowing. My favorite Steven Yeun performance. Not to mention the beautiful cinematography and music.
Steven Yeun really outdid himself here. As well as the other actors. Worth a watch.
Scandalously gentle poetry about human vice, and the horror of which he is capable. Special mention for the music!
A different and difficult movie. A poetic, deep and multi-layered narrative of a romantic and ambiguous relationship. Not everyone's taste
I've never really seen anything like this movie. It's both beautiful and nauseating.
Economic disparity shown through an unique lens!!!
One of the best films ever made. Amazing visuals, music, acting and pacing, complete with a complex story
My favorite film of 2018. All you need is one word to describe this film: ambiguity. slow but strongly compelling, this film sticks with you
Definitely a “slow burn” that eventually rewards your patience. When you look back, the signs were there but still a startling conclusion.
Good movie deep and compelling mystery that leaves a lot of questions after the credits
