User Reviews

Great Movie, Very well told. Realistic.

Did capture my attention from the very first minute. It's rhythm never drops.It takes you on a ride thru what relationships can develop when interacting with such a dysfunctional, selfish, self centered character as Georgio MIlevski. I saw myself perfectly portrayed on Tony's suffering struggling to manage day to day life, while being attached and trapped on a destructive relationship. In the mean time he did not even notice, the way she was being destroyed by him.

Both actors did play magnificent roles. Extremely good performances. This film really captures the scent of these type or relation, and brings a lot of light into the way it can destroy, but also, a very deep reflection opportunity to run...escape....go away and end whatever alike scenario we can be going thru.

It did bring it all to me. Positive. Excellent movie and acting!
