Better to have a “Friendly Nikki” than to wish for a “Freaky Nikki”.
Better to have a “Friendly Nikki” than to wish for a “Freaky Nikki”.
Really strong film with amazing action sequences that masterfully blend traditionally fast‑cut choreography with more innovative, experimental uses of slower frame rates, even during quieter stretches. This is paired with engagingly experimental sound design that draws you into the world of our deaf protagonist, Lu (Lee Shin‑young).
While having our protagonist (Daisy Ridley) charge headfirst into the zombie apocalypse rather than trying to escape or shield herself from it offers a fresh perspective on the genre, the truth is that the film does not give you much beyond that.
