Very nice mixture of different visual styles. Surprisingly good acting. But first of all, the film makes you wanna continue watching until the end to find out how the story unfolds.
Fact check: do you really go to space when high? (Never happened to me) :)
Thank you for the great useful feedback, very much appreciated 🙏 I guess the sequence of events in the film is trying to mirror Dante's Divine Comedy in some sense. To make the symbolic a tangible experience.
