This is one of those films that will stay with you for a long time after it's over. Hard to say much without ruining the movie but it goes to very unexpected places, stellar performances all around and the cinematography is gorgeous. Brilliantly unconventional thriller.

Slow-burn drama that plays out like a crime thriller but may not be; those expecting a dramatic action film may be disappointed, but if you want an intelligent, well-acted, mysterious film this is the one. The type of film that will leave you questioning your own assumptions when it's over and would reward multiple viewing.

Wow what a fantastic movie experience this was and so well acted. I love these kind of movies and the narrative was not predictable. Give this a go it really is superb.
