The CinePearl Take
Ly’s debut is a masterclass in tension, with Reda Kateb delivering a hauntingly restrained performance that anchors the chaos. The film’s pacing is relentless, mirroring the escalating pressure on both officers and residents. Its thematic focus on systemic inequality feels both timely and unsettling, leaving a lingering echo long after the credits roll.
