This was very intense to watch. It is absurd but also terrifying and tragic. The characters in this film are complex and deeply layered. Each of them put on a performance in their lives whether it’s to hide trauma, pain, or secrets. It also highlights the dangers of how film and performance itself can intensify and compound pain in the lives of real people. Portman, Moore, and Melton all give incredible performances. This is a fascinating film with many layers and subtext. Not a comfortable watch, but certainly thought-provoking.

It might not be agreeable with everyone but it will definitely get people talking.

There are some great additions like Donnie Yen,…
