A powerful examination of the dead-end road of drug addiction. The rotoscoped animation initially threw me for a loop, but ultimately it adds more nuance than it detracts; as the characters begin to lose track of their identity, the overlaid stylism acts as both mirror and shield to their despair.
Great performances from the all-star cast, especially RDJ and Keanu.
I found this to be an over-explained inspection of the perils of anonymity amidst rampant digital engagement. This has the all the potential of a decent Black Mirror episode, yet it remains squarely in the teen thriller category - and maybe that’s ok. There’s certainly enough energy to keep the story moving.
