Absolutely Fantastic
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
