Who would love this

  • Fans of Gus Van Sant's previous work, particularly his explorations of unconventional characters and societal undercurrents (e.g., "Drugstore Cowboy"). Viewers who appreciate true-crime dramas with a dark comedic edge and strong performances. Audiences who enjoy films that balance tension with wit and offer a distinct directorial perspective.

Who might not

  • Viewers who prefer straightforward, unambiguous narratives or dislike films that blend genres in unconventional ways. Those who may find the dark humor or the portrayal of desperate characters off-putting. Audiences looking for a purely conventional thriller might find its tonal shifts jarring.
