A grimy, sun-bleached fever dream that lurches from deadpan comedy to squalid horror, anchored by a queasy, one-sided obsession.

How it feels: Dark, bleak, absurd and satirical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Addiction, obsession, isolation, madness
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
