The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
