what a gem this was!!
good move nice twist
well made movie kinda confusing but wow very impressive
A very solid drama/thriller. Good performances and music, and I was lucky in my sleepy watching not to guess the rather obvious but satisfying ending. A fine film, though I will stress that there is not even a trace of horror to be found here, in case someone is looking for that.
Now this is a marvelously well done psychological thriller film! The symbolism, colors, and era were very fitting and I will be watching this again! I recommend it!
