What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Reviews agree the sung-dialogue experiment and DSP's score are the standout, with a strong emotional second half, but most say the first half drags and feels repetitive before the film finds its footing.

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 14 readings; 8 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.
