Yash Wade
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

When you have a movie that is almost an open book to read (and that's without having seen any trailer), you do wonder how will they pull it off. The invitation was or rather is an example, that even if you have seen the trailer, it does hold on to the excitement and the tension. Something this movie can not do over the entire time.Still it's not a bad example of a thriller. It does have the acting talent at hand and even almost achieves to get away with the usual "come on, you should know better" we may utter at the expense of the characters on screen. So depending on your patience and what you think of certain character motivated decisions, the ending will have an impact - or not. And that will clearly be visible in your rating of this movie ...

You need a good level of patience to get through this film and it can be incredibly temping to switch off. The first half of the film is painfully slow and any sort of plot developments take an eternity to arrive. For a thriller, it takes a while to do much thrilling.The film is, however, very eerie and menacing, and teases us with 'clues' that something is not quite right. As it draws to a close, the pace picks up and the film comes into its own, with a disturbing and extremely dark ending.Overall, whilst it takes a while to get going, the viewer is rewarded with an absorbing storyline that keeps you guessing until the end.

I was completely blown away by this stylish thriller. I could not get enough of the Finnish actress playing the German wife downstairs. I really hope she was nominated for awards for her outstanding and brilliant performance. I felt connected to the three main characters, David Morrissey's the least but I think that actually works because he is the most mysterious and you don't want to know too much about him. There was a bit of slow pacing in the later half but it didn't bother me, I was invested already and was dying to know what happened. The ending was satisfying and one of those endings that had us all yelling out OH DANG! Worth a rental for sure, but I would watch it a second time with friends over just to see what they think of it.

It is a below average thriller if you consider the theme. I mean most of those TV movies of the 90's covered this topic, or at least a similar one.A pretty modern take on a "classic" topic, with good acting, pretty good script and some nice camera-work and composition.Not bad for a debut film, it keeps you guessing throughout, makes you think what twist will it be in the end.As far as character development is concerned i think the director did a pretty good job in delivering close to 3 dimensional characters that you might care for.
