While the film’s technical aspects, such as the cinematography and sound design, are decent, it falls short in terms of originality.

Despite these flaws, ‘In Limbo’ is a well-acted and technically sound film. However, it could benefit from less melodrama and more originality to truly grip viewers and keep them engaged in the plot. Overall, it’s worth watching for Jason Gaglione and Kinsey Kunkel’s performances, as well as the neat cinematography and sound design, but falls short in other areas.
