Very well executed
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
