What the critics say

Critics call this an atmospheric crime mystery with a tense first half and satisfying climax, driven by strong performances and mood, though the second half juggles too many threads and sags in places.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 0 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
