Tension, Nightmares, Dream Reality. Blood, Beautiful AND Nothing You Expect.

I hope potential viewers read many of the reviews for a more balanced understanding of what is ahead of them. (I usually prefer not to be influenced and didn't read until afterwards.)

If you haven't watched many surealist films (there are actually many) perhaps it will be confusing. There are in a way more than one story being told. The linear movement that leads to the change of location and gives the main character her instructions AND the story which is contained within the nightmares and flashbacks of the main character. The nightmares become clues for the viewer despite not yet being clues for the dreamer. There are also clues to look, AND listen for in the dreamy reality of the daytime scenes.

Some have complained about the subtitles but I didn't even notice. In most dramas or films I usually have to rewind several times to catch what is said.

The music is a nonentity except for the occasions where it is performed by a character. This is when the subtitles are a bit more difficult.

The cinematography is beautiful.

In my opinion the acting was great.

I liked the script.

Therefore I think the director did a great job.

Some reviewers thought there was not enough fleshing out of the family members shown in the actual memories. I suggest this be interpreted as how the main character experienced those people.

Rewatch potential; immediately after watching I thought, well if I could see it on a larger ( TV ) screen rather than my tablet I might.

After reading many of the reviews I feel more eager to watch again.

It is Beautiful AND Nothing You Expect.
