I personally love this movie. I love the acting, and the way the movie was presented. I liked how it used both real life filming and a virtual world as well. It made it pretty interesting. Generally speaking, movies regarding these themes are pretty inaccurate and, I feel, don't very well get their point across. However, this movie surprised me at how well it presented the point, storyline, and themes.
Being honest, though, I feel like the movie put too much unnecessary emphasis on Dominik being homosexual. When reading reviews and such, it appears to be a movie that will focus on a boy struggling with sexuality, but I ended up only getting that feeling from just a few minutes in the beginning. Throughout the rest of the movie, he is focusing on Sylwia.
I also didn't like that Dominik was the typical rich kid, and the way that he changed was a bit sudden. The movie didn't really ease you in to him being crazy and a hermit. I felt like if he were changing slowly, it would have come out much better.
Aside from these two little things, the movie is great to watch, and has an interesting storyline. It is definitely one of my favorites.
