After making its initial appearance at the Venice Film Festival, and prior to showings at the BFI London Film Festival, the movie has launched with a 100% favorable rating based on 10 critiques on Rotten Tomatoes.

The review in Loud and Clear referred to the film as a mesmerizing, eerie production that defies genre boundaries, storytelling structure, and even the conventional progression of time. Essentially, they invited viewers to immerse themselves deeply within the film’s emotional landscape.

According to The Daily Beast, it’s unlike any other modern film, and Little White Lies described it as an emotionally stirring and unsettling experience.
