My review · Reviewed 08/10/2024

It's a shame that this movie will be underseen because so many people will read the tag line (two people in a cab) and keep looking. Everything about this movie is spectacular - the setup, acting, and resolution. The movie kind of ebbs and flows as the destination gets closer, but I was completely gripped the entire time. I probably let out a gasp or two as one of the items from the backstory was revealed (although not necessarily to both of the characters). I also can't remember a film that was this intimate - you could really get a feel for different sides of the characters. The entire film is exceptional.

best, favorite
