This felt slow most of the way through, as if you were consistently waiting for something to happen or the other shoe to drop. At one point, it seemed like a very simple/boring story about a few people trying to prove that magic is real and tarot cards predict the future, but without a true antagonist or conflict or drama, it just never really gets off the ground. The last third also took a strange turn away from the aforementioned and it became a bit of a love/lust story packaged with a murder mystery that ends with a twist that doesn't even seem logical or earned.
