    Oddly intriguing
    This film is interesting. The setting is beautiful and so are the shots. The story is thrilling, but not in a crime or horror or mystery sort of way. It's slow moving, but there is a reason doe that as it fits into the isolation. I won't go into details, but I did enjoy this film. Characters are good.
