This movie relied on a dreamlike atmosphere that was harder to appreciate at home. The cinematography used close-ups and long takes that required full attention. The film played with shifting timelines and surreal storytelling that worked best when seen without interruptions. The eerie tone and strange visuals needed a theater’s controlled environment to feel as unsettling as intended. Watching on a small screen took away from its immersive effect. A larger setting would have made the film’s tension more suffocating.
