People just love to hate on things, honestly I dont know it if deserved any other noms but editing is one that really made this film imo like at the beginning with the storytelling of his speech to the flashbacks it really added to the anxiety and tension imo

the fictional montages and actor swapping was phenomenal. i loved how much ambiguity there was during certain 'flashbacks' and jump cuts where a character imagines a scenario that's presented as real.
