    Great plot twists and play on temporal shifts

    It's a great film, building tension throughout to the final minutes leaving one guessing as to the final outcome, which I couldn't guess.

    I was left thinking after surely the ending should have been obvious, until as one interprets dreams, or as Freud hints at in his book the Interpretation of Dreams, that is one remembers one's dreams upon waking and thus I only decided it should have been obvious after, and so realised instead that this suggested the film was in fact that well-crafted and I only wanted to have thought it that obvious, but in fact I didn't. And so, it means that, I can go back to the idea that I was indeed left guessing... Thus a good emotional feeling based on a film full of tension and twists as well as what seem to be temporal shifts based on well-crafted edits and cuts from scene to scene up to the final moments.

    If one has read Henri' Lefebvre, what he calls a Leibniz's House perspective.

    What he meant was that to get the sense of a thing, such as a house, one has to look at it from many perspectives, form multiple person's perspectives and over time too. This film kind of moves towards demonstrating the concept better than most.

    Extremely well done study of how lives intersect.

    Unfortunately, this is the type of movie that draws out all those filmmakers who want to weigh in on what the director did wrong. I'm not a filmmaker, so I just sat back and enjoyed this director's efforts.

    All the characters were interesting, and I particularly liked the director's decision to cut back and forth between the various players as the narrative moved forward. That choice requires a little more effort on our part, but it's well worth the effort.

    All in all, I had a great time, even if I did get most of my anxiety buttons pushed, but that's what happens when a film builds suspense slowly and relentlessly.

    If you're the type of person who enjoys most kinds of movies, then you'll enjoy the unusual approach they took with this one, and it has my most hearty recommendation.

    Was fixated

    Well, I loved it. I was fascinated from the start and enjoyed every single minute. Cannot understand all the low ratings. I just want to be entertained, I don't want to (or need to!) critique every aspect of the film making. Last scenes are BRILLIANT!!!

    Stick with it

    Choppy narrative at first, stick with it. Great use and metaphor of cameras and screens. OMG ending rewards patience. Richard Dormer sweet smiling malevolence or not?

    11-7=4. AND 4 IS WHAT THIS IS WORTH

    I think there are 7 interlinked stories that wind down to some sort of anticlimactic climax.

    In the end you will wonder what you watched and why you stuck it out to the end....
