It may sound weird but when the story actually started to develop, I lost interest in what's going on. I'd prefer it all would be just like the first twenty minutes. Repeatable, contemplative but disturbing at the same time. Unfortunately it has a plot.

Surreal and poignant. Superb photography and lighting techniques create an eerie, yet stark setting for the emotional and subsequent physical turmoil that drive the narrative.

Menke excels in using silence as a powerful scream. A heavy intimate drama with nice metaphors. Essential nothing-core!
