The story and representation are there, but not a truly focused approach.

The story this director tells is about the racism embedded in the cultural existence of communities that are majority white, and institutionally in universities of higher education. So far so good, especially in tone.
But what could have been much more relevant for its thematic content and excellently atmospheric for its cinematic style, is dissipated by a constant foolishness to create sequences that feel more disorienting than frightening.
