REVIEWS:

I saw myself in her. The longing, the invisibility, the desire to escape your body... it was painfully honest.

Jaya Gessaga

It felt like stepping into someone’s dream and nightmare all at once. Visually rich and emotionally raw.

Jorge Rodriguez

It’s not just sci-fi, it’s like a slow-burn thriller dipped in sadness. That last close-up gave me chills.

Isabella Thompson

The lighting and color palette are phenomenal. That morgue shot with the flames was a painterly composition. Really bold choices.

Sergi Balay

The whole body-leaving thing reminded me of old-school surreal sci-fi. It’s creepy and magical at the same time! I loved that strange, dreamy vibe.

Tom Kauss

Cool film. I liked it. A well-made thriller with a touch of mystery. The message is pretty clear and easy to get — don’t take strange pills, or you might end up with something worse than just a normal death. Thank you!

Live Screenings Attendee

No need for words in half of the scenes, the camera speaks volumes. That’s pure cinema.

Victoria Nguyen

Yo that drug thing? Crazy cool. Like she takes it and boom, everything's different. Trippy af.
