Catching and Better than I expected.

When I first started watching the movie, I noticed its technical shortcomings and the directing was a bit lacking. But the rest of the movie was good enough to make up for its shortcomings.

Although I didn't like the camera angles and the shots, the acting was pretty good except for the first 10 minutes. Everyone conveyed their character well, which satisfied me.

The movie was really good in terms of questioning me. It made me think while questioning something. This was the film's strongest aspect, and it did justice to being a one-location film.

Despite its technical shortcomings, the film paid off with good acting, a solid adaptation, well-written dialogues (though some were a bit too long), and most impressively, its gripping quality.

In addition, the fact that the film was finished without being fully explained and that it reflected the personal interpretation of each character to us in a very dosed manner made us very happy, and in this way, the questioning of the film increased to a very high level.

I think it's one of the best low budget movies I've ever seen. It's really underrated and I'm surprised so few people watch it. I would definitely recommend. Whatever the rating, feel free to watch; I think you will not regret.
