Awesome and complete!

I read a few of the reviews on here about this movie, and they gave the impression that this movie left too many unanswered questions and the ending was not satisfying. I don't know what questions these reviews were referring to, but for me the ending was pretty much self explanatory.

The acting was brilliant, the direction, the location and scenes were all done really well. The story was adequately thought provoking too.

To sum it up, the movie felt like an experience, not just a visual entertainment. 7 out of 10 for me!

Having said that it's not a movie for everyone, if you like movies where you can feel the character's environment then you'll like this, but if you prefer lots of dialogues, lots of people and lots of action then you probably wanna watch something else.
