Here's the deal: critics went wild for this one (86 Metacritic!), calling it an ambitious exploration of identity, media, and suburban alienation. It's genuinely original and thoughtful.

But let's be real—that 5.8 IMDb rating tells the actual story. Most people, including most teens, are going to find this slow, weird, and kind of a slog. It's psychological horror that trades scares for existential dread, which sounds deep but plays as boring if you're not already into arthouse cinema.

The gap between what it's trying to do (interesting!) and what most viewers will experience (confusion, then checking their phone) is massive. If you have a teen who loves A24 films, reads film criticism for fun, and thinks Donnie Darko is mainstream, they might connect with this. Everyone else should skip it.

Common Sense says 13+, but that's technically accurate, not practically useful. A 13-year-old watching this will either be bored to tears or unnecessarily freaked out by the reality-cracking stuff. Save this for the film school-bound 17-year-old, not your average middle schooler looking for something to watch.
