Mysterious and captivating … absolute, fine and simply grand !, 7 April 2009
10/10
Author: CinemaAddict from Belgium

This unlikely surprise turns out to be sophisticated but not superficial, deep and performed with a meticulous attention to detail. Don't expect any grand theft auto or die hard explosions, but if you can appreciate the more subtle qualities of cinema you will greatly enjoy this work of art. The film is set in NY, epicentre of the new world. Its stage, historically filled with mystery, is an easy but yet perfect choice. I hope to do justice to this picture by qualifying it as a mysterious philosophical thriller; a testimony to both the beauty and fragility of life as well as the absurd tragedy which accompanies its every story.
