Damn this movie was quite a ride. Reminded me so much of Uncut Gems (2019), coz the moment to moment drama is frenetic, anxiety inducing but also genuinely funny as hell. Every single actor did such a great job, a big section of the movie is so dependent on the ensemble’s interactions and mood changes throughout the ordeal which is nailed to perfection. I didn’t even recognise Mikey Madison from Scream (2022), her performance was truly transformative and captivating. The premise is simple but the series of events is really entertaining and well paced. The dialogue is also smart and in many scenes it brings a unique sentiment to it which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. This is a solid film that’ll have you hooked from beginning to end.
