A Visually Rich, Art-Forward Watch

I watched this without subtitles and still greatly enjoyed it, which speaks to how visually expressive and thoughtfully crafted it is.

This is best suited for the eclectic viewer—someone who appreciates aesthetics as much as plot, who enjoys artistic or unconventional narratives, and who notices the intentional use of specific color palettes to signal tone, character dynamics, or emotional shifts. It’s the kind of experience where patience is rewarded, and the beauty lies as much in how the story is told as in the story itself.
