BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Dirtylogy 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.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
