As a connoisseur of indie films, I am often disappointed with the overall quality of many projects. However, this excellent film surprised me on multiple levels. The performances and direction are very good, the acting is professional, and the overall production clearly placed a premium on every technical aspect, with good sound and vivid imagery. The story itself is also compelling. Being able to cope with devastating loss through the use of virtual reality is an intriguing subject. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind " investigated this concept on an entirely different level, as it was a film about romantic loss. This one is about loss, yes, but the loss of a child, and a hi-tech way of dealing with trauma. It would be difficult for any human to predetermine how they would behave in such a situation, and in this film, virtual reality is utilized to exact revenge on those perceived to have contributed to a child's death. While watching this film, it was often difficult to determine what was real real, and what wasn't, adding to the intrigue. I also enjoyed the twist at the end. Overall, a recommended watch from me!
