The weirdest situations can bring out the weirdest and not too bad ideas - this movie was made during lockdown. Lockdown if you are wondering was a thing when there was this virus called Corona and goverments tried to contain it - we are still experiencing it right now, but I am assuming (hoping?) it'll be more or less over some time in the future.

Having said that, the story has some interesting and fun ideas. It obviously has characters who have issues - with each other and within themselves. Having said, the acting is really rock solid. The story works overall and the really one location (still quite big) thing works quite nicely too.

Still there are other movies that work a lot better with a weird premise like this. Or a similar one. 3-Iron (or Bin-Jip not sure which title is the international to be honest) to name a Korean one. It has not the same story mind you ... but you have a weirdness in it .. that surpasses the one seen here. Way different in almost every department - but also way better.

Still this has its merits - for some it may be a twist or two - maybe even the one towards the ending. I was not too excited about that to be honest. But that is me - you may feel differently about all of it.
