I don't understand the low rating when most reviews are good with ratings of 7 and above.

It's Inception meets Sixth Sense in a way. This movie presents a story that while at first feels confusing due to the flashbacks and forwards, if close attention is paid it starts to gel in it's telling the story of how we might see our lives in the last moments. They say we see it all in a flash in that split second. This presents that split second but takes a movie length to do it and it felt real, haunting, right in how it showed it. Joys and pain and what if's and coulda'beens. All at once. I want this last second visions but of my own story.

The last 5 minutes though, heartbreaking when she and us realize, it was he who died. But her mind played tricks to protect her from the pain. Sadly too real. And really well presented throughout.

I could watch it again, to catch things I probably missed the first time. Just as I've rewatched Sixth Sense a few times to fill in the mystery holes. Highly recommend it.
