The dream sequences are where it gets really interesting—so much visual creativity, almost like a blend of practical effects and vivid imagination. It’s distinct in how it grapples with nihilism yet leaves room for a glimmer of hope, or at least a different perspective. The performances are raw; you can feel the weight of the protagonist’s choices, and they’re quite compelling in their simplicity.
