its good but i don't get everything that it tries to do.
a film like this should be an all timer for me....but idk i expected allot more. i couldn't fully connect with any character and honestly some story choices felt weird, i get what they were trying to do but it really didn't help.
like the entire scene where they go on a boat. idk why that was there to be honest.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A anarchic provocation about a charismatic rebel in an oppressive system, balancing dark humor and genuine humanity against institutional cruelty. It's exhilarating and uncomfortable in equal measure, a film that makes you cheer rebellion while questioning what sanity really means.
