The movie begins with an intriguing premise that engages the viewer, but as the story unfolds, the plot gradually becomes less and less logical. The locations, distances, timeframes and relations lose coherence, culminating with a really unpredictable ending but not in a good way.

The dialogs are unnatural and annoying in their effort of being witty. The supposed estranged sibling dynamic between the main characters seems more reflective of the real-life couple portraying them. Their screenplay feels like a thinly veiled attempt to wrestle with personal insecurities and envy toward specific social groups, which detracts from the authenticity of their on-screen relationship.

From a technical perspective, the film appears to have been shot digitally and desaturated in postproduction, resulting in large, flat grey areas poorly masked by artificial digital grain. The title itself seems like another failed attempt at being clever, referencing the visuals rather than any deeper meaning.

At first glance, it may seem like a hidden gem for indie movie lovers. However, the film's lack of logic, grating dialogue, and disappointing visuals left me feeling scammed and disappointed.

Even though the production is done in high quality and the movie looks intriguing at the first sight, the story is not very interesting, the situations are awkward and uncomfortable to watch, and most of the actors are not pleasant to look at. Luckily the photography, scenography and color correction are done well so the visual appearance is not that bad.

After a very successful adaptation of the epic poem from classic antiquity, "Odyssey" into "Oh Brother where Art Thou", the Cohen brothers thought that they'll be able to present the part of their own culture, "The Book of Job", in the same way, but it turned out pretty cringy.

I found this tv show pretty overrated. The plot is kind of illogical but not in a subconscious, David Lynch kind of way. The actors are on the edge of been unpleasant to look at, many scenes are too dark to clearly see what's going on (and again, not in the way to let your imagination fulfil it but probably to hide bad costumography). The retro synths sound great and that's probably the main highlight but the sound is too dynamic - actors are sometimes mumbling something that I've couldn't understand while the other scenes are too loud and jumpy. The worst part are woke stereotypes that should break the traditional stereotypes: a black kid who doesn't feet the character and a female superhero who saves everything.
