Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This is a splendid exercise in world building. Bösch gives us everything we need to believe in this place and understand the character dynamics, but does not stray beyond that. Rated: 4/5 Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming While some won’t appreciate the ambiguity of the plot and worldbuilding, the mix of beauty, paranoia and fantasy nevertheless is an intoxicating concoction, even if this film falters at the final hurdle.
