Shot in single take. Immersive and well worth watching imo
Trailer is spoiling

Did not like this very much. Started off decent but after the first hour they completely forgot about character development and it's all downhill from there.
The one take gimmick didn't add much to the experience either in my opinion, if they wanted realism they could have made a Dogme film instead.

Especially last part had its weaknesess but not because character development, maybe there wasn't more character to develop for them in those situations and drugs + stress.
Still a good film since enjoyed the mood, though i have weak spot for decently done long shots and 'happened during a night' movies. I like dogme but with as this is now it could have been easily not as entertaining and just average, hard to say

Yes of course the heist route kills all the drama elements but was the crime stuff really necessary? I felt like I'd probably enjoy it alot more if it was a straight up drama film shot in the same style.
I also dig the atmosphere of the film to some extent but felt like the heist killed any vibe the film had going.

All?
Guess i was enough invested that it worked for me so their characters actions seemed mostly realistic, with it not being eventful verbally too
Would probably have liked it more without heist too but liked it anyway
