The boundaries between reality and illusion are constantly shifting, leaving the audience to analyze and interpret its themes. Through this approach, the film effectively embodies the ethos and style of gaming culture.

    Sharp Stick

    A very, 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 confusing film that tries to meld themes of coming of age, womanhood, sexual repression and family, all with very little to say about these ideas. It's incoherent, incomprehensible, structurally unsound, a total mess.

    I think I'm being very charitable giving this film a one star... Taylour Paige is in the film, and she was great IN ZOLA, so.... One star for her?
