PROS:
+ fantastic acting
+ great direction
+ great script, unique and very intriguing story and characters
+ fantastic music
CONS:
- the ending is initially a bit hard to understand and ends rather abruptly, but upon some thinking some great conclusions can be made as to what it means
OVERALL:
it's a fantastic movie and a great independent surprise that draws you in from frame to frame and leaves you thinking at the end. It's more of a drama with a splash of sci-fi similar to the eerily similar (yet strangely completely different in the long run) Melancholia which also released this year. Although not a sci-fi spectacle by any means the special effects are really done and it's just a really really tight and well made movie which is a shock when you look at it's tiny 200,000 dollar budget. Take notes hollywood. This is one unique, very simplistic movie that's driven by a fantastic lead performance. Highly recomm
