A unique and creative premise but I struggled with the execution.
The story felt very slow. While there was at times a sense of unease or dread, there was no thrill. The main character lacked oomph and likeability and the ending was dissatisfying.
The portrayal of office politics and racism in the workplace with all its micro-aggressions and gaslighting was well done though.
