2.0
Really fun premise (think Talented Mr Ripley and Saltburn set in Morocco), but ultimately this was poorly executed. A good plot idea, but I wanted more!! Could have been longer so it could dive more into the themes of doubling, obsession, homoerotic friendship, interacting with locals, the logistics of the crimes, etc etc. This fell flat
