Poster Rating: C- / C

Review: (#1, C-) An unnecessary amount of empty space, most of it untextured. This does highlight the figure in the corner but that isn’t a very inventive or creative use. It’s fine.

(#2, C) When you don’t have access to the talent or the locales, it makes it difficult to design a poster that uses both. The end result, especially in this case, can often feel lifeless and manipulated and that doesn’t pair well with the crispness of the titling.

Trailer Rating: C

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C) Giving the entire life of the protagonist makes for a dull trailer experience as it doesn’t quite build up the tension needed to sell tickets. There are some interesting concepts at play in the film but they are poorly conveyed. That makes the film looks like a wasted effort.

Oscar Prospects:

Thought to be an early contender, the buzz hasn’t continued building since its festival release but could make a comeback.
