This was beautiful and masterful. I expected a story about a man Who turns into a shark, and while I got that, I also got so much more. This is truly a story about generational trauma, love, parenthood, and grief. Habeck vascillates between a script, prose, and poetry to convey the story and themes. It was...perfect.
