Reviews
I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
