I found the film disappointing as the movie was hard to follow. The acting was very good however i think it was wasted as the plot of the film was difficult to understand at the best of times. i was confused when characters died and questioned how. the movie was a bit boring and i felt it dragged on too long. there was little to no action and the camera/scenery was far too dark, preventing the audience from fully grasping what was going on.
Overall i think it was a good idea that was poorly developed.
