Visually astounding, mesmerisingly tragic, disturbingly dreamy, silently hateful, symmetrically terrifying, restrained in silver and a superbly crafted film by director Denis Villeneuve (Enemy, 2013) and his team; the makers of a horrifyingly beautiful film whose hovering narrative style drives a powerfully calm yet fierce and debilitating psychological demise through the heart and the soul.
A numbing masterpiece
