This movie really blew me away
I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting from this movie, but I didn’t get it (in a good way). It starts with a riveting 20-minute opening scene (probably filmed in one take – I’m not sure, but in retrospect it felt that way) that sets up the entire film and immediately hooked me. From that moment on, the next 2 hours went by faster than I’ve ever seen a movie.
It was captivating here
I’ve never seen a movie that kept its cards so close to its chest. Oftentimes when movies do that, it’s more frustrating than anything else. I really had no idea what direction the movie was going to take.
I can’t recommend a movie like this enough
There are some disturbing images in this movie, but they don’t come across in the way you’d expect. Given the extremely dark subject matter, the movie shows very little, if any, torture or graphic horror. Instead, the movie gets under your skin as the main character does things that need to be seen to be appreciated.
