Starring Chiwetel Ejiofor as a man lost in endless, fluorescent-lit corridors, and Renate Reinsve as his therapist with her own secrets, the movie leans into found-footage style to amplify its surreal dread. While A24 and producers like James Wan lend credibility, critics debate Parsons’ creative control — but the film’s eerie authenticity and bold visuals make it a standout debut. Some pacing issues and a jarring ending hold it back, but this is a promising first step into a strange, unsettling new world. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
