Viewers find 'Evil Does Not Exist' a visually stunning yet polarizing film. Directed by Ryusuke Hamaguchi, it presents a serene yet intense narrative where a father and daughter's tranquil life is disrupted by a modern camping project. Critics praise the film's ecological themes and Hamaguchi's mastery in blending narrative depth with environmental concerns. However, some viewers struggle with the film's pacing and find the ending particularly perplexing, leaving them with more questions than answers.

👍 Masterful integration of ecological themes with deep narrative.

👎 Slow pacing and a confusing ending may frustrate some viewers.
