I actually didn't expect the plot twist 'til the last minutes and if this movies goal was to creep you out as well then it succeeded but... there's nothing else to it, in the end it feels somewhat dull. I will probably forget about it quickly 😔
I guess it had potential, I can't really think of a media that used this specific plot scheme before, buuut from the beginning the movie keeps throwing this concept of perfection at you, and the problem is that people often believe in very different definitions of 'perfection'. for example if this movie was perfect in a blah blah blah sense it would have only 5 star reviews, it'd be life changing, etc. maybe in it's own way, filled with various visual effects that tried to frame it as an insanely deep movie, it's perfect but unfortunately it didn't give me much, and it seems like quite a lot of people had the same feeling. saying this all while, again, it did shock me with all the twists and the way it used parallels! it used a lot of smart references etc. but if the whole picture is dull in the end it doesn't help that much
bonus points for tomasz kots character speaking polish when he was in distress that's a nice detail. athena strates' acting was impressive too
**spoilers

+ it only hit me while writing this review, but the way texel gets mad at jeremiasz for imagining what seemed at first like her story with images from his childhood is so smart with it all being him in the end oml
