Review

a well-crafted film from top to bottom, but one that just didn’t resonate with me at all. a lot of the imagery was quite good, the score was haunting and appropriate, the mood and tone of the film were exactly where they needed to be, the acting was mostly good and the direction was just plain good. unfortunately the story, and its various, subplots just didn’t do it for me. i was interested in seeing where things were going, but the end left me really unsatisfied and left more questions than answers; and not in a good way.
