The practical effects, especially during the more intense scenes, really stand out, adding an unexpected layer of grit. Performances are solid, with a rawness that feels authentic. It’s distinctive for its exploration of male vulnerability set against a backdrop of absurdity. The carpet metaphor alone is quite memorable, almost a character in itself.
