A film that penetrates the viewer to the core

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2017)

A compelling, dreamlike exploration of what it really means to be human... Does the key lie in our memories? Experiences? Capacity for mercy and love? Even characters with small roles are well-developed and memorable, and the grungy futuristic setting conveys a distinctive mood that complements character development and action rather than distracting from it. The pacing allows plenty of time for reflection (and to soak up the haunting soundtrack) without dragging. All in all, a transcendent viewing experience.
