Rating: 4/10 (22 January 2012)

Although the film had some good things going for it: the human experience of surviving harrowing conditions; the thought processes one must go through in those circumstances, it's mostly unbearable, both for its length and the sense of claustrophobia. Furthermore it really seems as though film wasn't the right medium for this true story, as it severely limits what you can do in terms of plot and drama.
On the matter of music, it seems to want to make up for a lack of action at times, and it's rather obtrusive when coupled with those fast camera shots (I didn't enjoy the opening).
Furthermore, the dreams and hallucinations seemed more like filler.
So I wouldn't recommend this one (unless you can tolerate watching pain, and don't mind the constraints of a fairly linear storyline, and the irritating use of music).
