- TriviaUpon acquiring distribution rights, Searchlight Pictures was set to release the film on 8 December 2023 in the United States. However following star Jonathan Majors' assault allegations and subsequent trials and the 2023 Hollywood strikes, Disney removed the film from their release calendar entirely in October 2023. In January 2024, Searchlight dropped distribution rights for the film and the producers began shopping for another distributor. In October 2024, Briarcliff Entertainment bought the rights and set a 2025 release date.

Featured review
Wow saw this at Sundance. Honestly had no idea what this was going in. This was intense! Jonathan Majors is great, no surprise there. He is totally believable as Killian, a probably somewhat developmentally disabled amateur bodybuilding competitor. It ranges from cringeworthy to edge of your seat to weird to shocking to horrifying. Such an amazing performance.
The cinematography was claustrophobic and off putting and the music was often jarring, with dramatic shifts that mirror Killian's mental state.
I don't want to give any spoilers, but this wouldn't be one to take your grandma to. It gave me Nightcrawler vibes in the way it just keeps escalating and getting more frantic and surreal, mixed with a little Bullhead. Unless that sounds like something your grandma would be into, in which case, take her, she'll love it!
