VIBE

This film is a relentless, suffocating descent into urban rage and societal disillusionment. It feels like a pressure cooker slowly bursting, a cynical, unsettling journey through one man's escalating frustration with the world. The tension is palpable, the critique sharp, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
