A unique movie, a thinking exercise and what I found interesting about the way it's done is that it invites you to put yourself in the the shoes of its characters and think what would you have done in those situations. Poignant and a good warning for our society. Must see!

I honestly thought this movie was awful. It was trying to be so hipster it was boring. I would say the first 30 minutes were like slightly interesting but then after that it was awful.

Interesting premise, terrible execution. No sympathic characters; everyone including the supposed main character felt like an extra, and that ending, what a letdown.
