The standouts here are its neon-lit fights, digital worlds, and the moody score by Nine Inch Nails.
This film overwhelms with its unexpected poignance, its truthfulness, and the imagination it uses to examine its teenage characters.

Dan Levy’s overwhelming score is the movie’s best asset. If you close your eyes, you might imagine you’re experiencing a grounded, minimalist French answer to Interstellar.
