The film leans heavily into themes of identity and transformation, and while the director remains unknown, the performances are certainly mesmerizing and layered. You can tell there’s a certain craftsmanship in the practical effects, which add to the film's dreamlike quality. It's a curious watch, not really conforming to mainstream expectations, but that's what makes it distinctive.
