7/10
An experience, not an easy watch but good

A difficult film to watch, scary when you think he loses grip over reality but did he? It is co fusing and doesn't answer a lot, did his direction ever change or were we just watching him recall the route he actually travelled?

I'm not sure if it was a message to people about how they travel their life, the destination being the same but it's how you get there, and ultimately like on this film what state you want to be in.

It's thought provoking but is it meant to be? At points I thought he was trapped by an alien and was waiting for him to wake up in a cell somewhere like the Matrix.

Personally I think it was a study of the main characters decisions throughout his life and how things could have been different had he not learned from mistakes, how if he had not learned from his decisions how if he had turned to drugs each time things got hard what his life would have ended up like when he was sat next to his mum on her deaf bed.

But hey, like I say that's my interpretation and the film leaves a lot to interpretation... 😬

Overall I found this film great to watch with some amazing visuals, thoroughly enjoyable, scary in a losing your mind kind of way and brilliantly acted, it does well to give you an ending but the sort of one you expect, it has you guessing a lot and not always in a good way.

A mix of films 'requiem for a dream', 'butterfly effect', 'the matrix' and 'Donnie Darko'.
