Show more >> Chariot tries to be a mind-bending exploration of love and reincarnation, but it often feels more like a muddled puzzle than a cohesive story. The premise is fascinating, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Characters lack depth, and the narrative sometimes drags, losing momentum when it should hit its emotional peaks.

The visuals are striking, yet they can't compensate for the lack of a strong emotional core. It’s an ambitious attempt, but ultimately, Chariot feels like it’s spinning its wheels. Show less
