good existential movie, plot was so-so

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2015)

Although I felt the plot was more original than most movies that have come out recently, I still felt it did drag out in some parts. There were a lot of hard to follow "whisper fights" that made the movie tense to an uncomfortable level at some points. I did really like the cinematography and set design of this movie though, the music was also a bonus, I admired it for the jazzy instrumental glow it gave to the movie. There needs to be more movies with instrumental soundtracks, it adds a certain charm to the scene it accompanies. One of the other things I really admired about the movie was the camera work, the angles were personal and intriguing, they gave me an almost dazed feel, I felt more absorbed into the world the movie created. But that may be just me, I'm a sucker for lighting, set design, and camera work. The ending (which I won't spoil for you) was better than I thought it would be. It was surprising and left just enough to be desired. The movie over all was good, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a more intellectual move, this doesn't seem to be something children could follow.
