- Entertainment:
The film garners mixed reactions for its innovative premise but falls short in deeply exploring the emotional and societal impacts. While the performances by Clarke and Ejiofor are strong, the film’s execution doesn’t fully captivate the audience, leaving it feeling somewhat incomplete despite its ambitious ideas.
