Basically, it is a rather dark and gloomy picture, with some really nice direc... read more

"First viewing - April 8th I keep seeing praise for this film, so I wanted to check it out. I appreciated the unique story as well as the acting. I felt at times like I was watching a documentary instead of a fictional movie, which tells you how perfect the acting is here. I kept waiting for it to hit me emotionally, but it never really did. Otherwise it was good though, and I'm glad I gave it a chance."
