It's an enjoyable film that I’d happily watch again and suggest to others. Ultimately, I’d say it’s more captivating than simply “good.” I don't typically care for Matthew McConaughey or Jason Clarke, yet they both do a remarkable job portraying their characters’ instability.

I appreciate attempts to do something ambitious and unusual with a film, regardless of whether it works out. Steven Knight’s story feels off from the very beginning. There's an oddness present, with strange conversations and subtle hints suggesting something deeper is at play. Then, a twist that seems predictable alters everything, shifting our perspective completely. However, this change ultimately undermines the mo…
