The performances—especially by Nassim Lyes, Loryn Nounay, and Olivier Gourmet—infuse the narrative with emotional weight. Clocking in at 1h 39m, it keeps a balanced tempo and rarely drags. While it has its imperfections, the positives greatly outweigh the negatives. Its tagline—“Things are bound to end violently.”—accurately reflects its bold intent. If this premise intrigues you, add it to your watchlist.
