hm. i think this is more interesting in theory than actuality. i wish it leaned more into the surrealism of them being doppelgangers / taking on each other's identities. certain parts dragged a bit and i think it was because the absurdity of what was happening was told too matter of factly. maybe that was the point? still enjoyed it overall and the ending was fun
