Deadly boring
carlier-n29 January 2023
Nothing happens or all the same happens again and again so you're trying to follow a pseudo thriller which isn't one and suddenly it fizzles out! The setting is the same,oppressing ,always in the same construction site. There are a few main characters who hardly talk to one another and at one moment we think there is a clue but it leads to nowhere. It could have been a short film since the length doesn't provide any more information but boredom. Actually, the trailer is largely enough since everything is in it. I was definetly disappointed and the trailer is just a fraud. It is not a thriller at all as it was sold.

Excellent (NO SPOILERS)

The film rests on two things. Stunning visual cinematography where every scene is a painting. How every piece of architecture and characters are arranged makes the viewer pulled in. The second is a story. At times it starts to make one mixed reality with a supernatural. As the story unfolds, real and unreal mix into the reality. Those who like mainstream stuff always find art boring. This film is art. This film stays on your mind long after the film ends. The actors did justice. The pace of the story is not slow. The speed of the story itself is the tool to tell the story. Most of the film happens at night with the ending at the day which itself is a meaning for those who can appreciate art. 10/10.
