Main genre(s)

edit

Per MOS:FILMGENRE, the genre(s) in a film's lead (and categories) "should comply with WP:WEIGHT and reflect what is specified by a majority of mainstream reliable sources" .

I went through several pages of Rotten Tomatoes' reviews and several other sources I'd read on the film, and found that the majority of sources speak of this film as a genre-bending drama with a psychological framework. Rotten Tomatoes classifies it as a drama. For the core genre, "psychological drama" is the most supported. One that is not supported by the majority of sources is "black comedy". The following is a list of sources, randomly selected from RT plus a couple of interviews, noting the film's genre(s) or describing its tone.
