The pacing can feel erratic at times, but it mirrors the disjointed lives of the characters, particularly the performances of the young women, who are raw and real in their rebellion against conformity. The practical effects are intriguingly effective, enhancing that eerie vibe throughout. There’s a palpable sense of urgency to the message, urging a departure from the mundane, which feels especially resonant. It’s a curious blend of horror and social commentary, standing apart in its delivery and tone, and it really sticks with you in an unusual way.
