Philbert Dy’s review published on Letterboxd:
Nihilism tends to bore me, especially when it's so contrived. This film uses careful construction to bang its characters together, stuffing them into terrible situations that reinforce the general idea that the world is inherently bad, and that there is nothing to be done about how bad it all is. It only matters that you're tough enough to survive, that you can bring the violence before it comes to you.
It kind of feels like the Coen brothers, if the Coen brothers didn't care about people; if their stories didn't present us with anything worth preserving. We get a narrator all throughout the thing who seems bored by all the awfulness happening in the story. He drawls in a measured tone, telling us things that the movie doesn't have time to get to, and letting us know that none of this really matters. It's all just the devil doing his bit, creating this grim delusion, trying to make us believe that there isn't anything worth fighting for.
