Not my favorite Villenueve, but it’s certainly his most disturbing. Great story on display with amazing characters. A tough watch for sure.

A great movie that shows the dark side of humanity, followed by one of the best plot twists of modern cinema. Denis Villeneuve is AMAZING!

One cinematic, morally intense film that focused more on character excavation and exploring geopolitical issues than masterpiece-level plot.

The language is very raw, and the pace is intense. Maintain the mystery until nearly the end.

It's slow, but portrays a civil war environment perfectly.The ending has enough convenience to do the plot twist, but it's still a good film
