Overall 8.0
Story 8.0
Acting/Cast 9.0
Music 6.0
Rewatch Value 7.5
PROS:
+ The story is a roller coaster of different emotions and is also a mixed bag of cinematic elements that make it unpredictable, complex, and mysterious
+ The interest in the mystery builds throughout the duration of the film and is revealed in an indirect manner, which requires some thinking to piece together
+ Some of the moments were emotionally heavy to ponder and become increasingly upsetting the more you think about them
+ There are some impressive camera shots that layer backgrounds and pan to create a nightmare feel, that appears unnatural and creepy

CONS:
- The music was almost non existent, which worked well for some scenes (making them feel empty and lonely), but some others felt a little dry and boring
- Scenes that were shown to establish the plot weren't explained well at first, leading to some confusion until later revelations in the mystery
- Some symbolic elements of the plot don't really make much sense

This movie surprised me even as I was viewing it, but even more so after it ended. I kept thinking about the meaning behind the ending and decided it is truly great!
