“With the synth-pulse soundtrack and vast desert spaces, Laxe is working in the mystic tradition of filmmakers like Herzog and Tarkovsky, but with the white-knuckle ruthlessness of an action craftsman. A friend left the film saying he wanted to drown the director in a puddle of radiator fluid. I don’t share his reaction, but I understand it. The movie works you over.” – Spliced Personality Substack, 03/08/2026
