I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
