I saw this film at a festival, and I have to say it was a lot better than most of the worthy and trendy rubbish I have to sit through! At least this director's got style, originality, and dares to do something out-of-the-ordinary! The writing also shows a good sense of story and narrative, with the ending being suitably rewarding.
Technically, the quality of this film is superb. The director handles sound very well, and is not afraid to use silence in the film. The lighting is suitably atmospheric, and the cinematography is spot on; although when you learn that the film was shot by Brian Tufano this is to be expected. The fact that an experienced film-maker of this calibre, along with Stephen Frears as executive producer are prepared to work with a young director also speaks volumes about his talent and potential.
I look forward to seeing the next piece of work from this director.
