    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

  • Lilith Hester
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.

  • Brendan McCann
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.
