“This movie is hard to watch (no spoilers but there are some very uncomfortable scenes that might trigger some folks so be warned). Itu0026#39;s a good tension driven plot but ultimately fails to move forward and ends up being not quite as impactful as it could have been.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany of the scenes in this film are u0026quot;fly on the wallu0026quot; shots with no camera movement and itu0026#39;s like youu0026#39;re in the room. I applaud the director for that, itu0026#39;s a great way to convey tension and force the viewer to u0026quot;be thereu0026quot;. Scenes with the mom and boyfriend both do this. This technique also drives this placid kind of ethereal feel throughout.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall I liked this film, it just fails in the plot development part especially the last bits. It will annoy a lot of viewers and it did annoy me, but itu0026#39;s still worth a watch. The acting is pretty good for an indie too.”
