Jealousy

About This Movie

It’s a wild ride that plays with themes of jealousy and desire, wrapped in a somewhat chaotic but playful atmosphere. The pacing feels intentional, allowing for moments of tension followed by bursts of debauchery. The performances are a mix of earnestness and absurdity, which keeps it engaging.
