this feels like emotional warfare dressed up as dinner conversation. almost the entire film unfolds inside this pristine country house, but it never feels calm. every room feels staged, every character positioned like they’re already on trial.
what really hooked me is how technically calculated it all is. the camera keeps its distance, sliding around corners and watching from odd angles, which makes the tension feel suffocating instead of explosive. no one is innocent here, and the final “game” scene is just brutal, not because of what happens physically, but because of how precise the words are.
it’s icy, controlled, and deliberately uncomfortable. not something you throw on casually, but the psychological nastiness and formal precision make it hard to shake.
