Hell is 240p resolution
At one point, two women are gazing longingly into each others eyes when the shot widens to show the shadowed visage of a tormented man in the foreground, face buried in his hands. As I am a fan of both lesbians and tormented men, I found this enjoyable.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
lol the lesbian was like "idk why i'm in hell" and i was like "hello????????? u big fruit" but then we find out it's because she ran over her cousin with a bus to get with his girlfriend

hell is when you have colored benches

Three people, a man and two women, find themselves in a modestly furnished room with no windows or mirrors; the punishment is simple: they must remain in this room for all eternity with each other. There are no chains, no torture devices, no fire and brimstone. “Hell is other people,” the man, Garcin, says when the trio realize they are to be each other’s torturers.
A feeble attempt to preclude this torture is made by Garcin suggesting that they simply ignore each other, though the vanity of the beautiful Estelle and the masochism of the cold Inèz make indefinite silence impossible.…
