This Estonian psychological thriller may be a bit unusual, but it's also quite intriguing. It has a very slow pace, and with that gradually builds up the tension, making you more and more uneasy about the intentions of this other couple, as well as about the strange behavior of Anna that so infuriates her husband. It's all very subtle and atmospheric, with scarce dialogues and only a few hints as to the backgrounds of Anna and Juhan. But it worked, at least for me.
The consistent slow pace is towards the end suddenly caught up by a short outburst of frenzied action, and just when you think that this will lead to a definitive and satisfying climax, the movie ends with a deflative puff. And with the out-of-the-blue suggestive question: did it all really happen? Seriously?! Well, maybe this ending was a tiny bit too pretentious. As for the rest: absolutely worth while, and by the way very well acted by Mirtel Pohla and Priit Võigemast.
