It has this haunting atmosphere, almost surreal at times, which really pulls you in. The pacing is a bit unconventional, enhancing that disorienting feel of insomnia. There’s something raw about the performances—like the actors are fully immersed in that dreamlike state, which adds layers to the narrative.
