This psychological thriller, centred on the struggles of a comic book artist (or more accurately, an aspiring one) excels in its striking comic artwork, which enhances the film’s visual appeal. This is reinforced by a well-presented exploration of the desire for artistic recognition, complemented by well-crafted relationships and conflicts among the characters, all revolving around the protagonist.

However, a jarring structural shift in the second act does more harm than good, throwing off the pacing and weakening the investigation into key events. As a result, the film’s resolution feels somewhat underwhelming.
