Limitations The movie’s bleakness is also its principal limitation. Its relentlessness can border on exhaustion, and some viewers may interpret the moral ambiguity as emotional nihilism. Narrative threads occasionally feel overstuffed; certain secondary characters and plot mechanics are left underexplored, perhaps intentionally, but at the cost of occasionally muddled motivation. Still, these flaws are inseparable from the film’s aesthetic: its refusal to smooth edges is part of its thematic argument.
