I saw this film a few days ago and found it totally mesmerising without quite knowing why.
The pace is remarkably slow (in a good way) for such a short film making it seem longer than its 80 minutes, and the content is subtly tense and brooding with occasional injections of taught action.
What I found disappointing was just how difficult it was to pin down what was motivating most of the characters and what they were actually doing. Timeline jumps were unhelpful and unnecessary as well.
There's a real bombshell dropped at the end which explains a lot, but I didn't see that as justification enough for spending most of the film wondering what the hell was going on.
Overall though I'd say this was a good, absorbing watch, but would've benefited greatly from more plot development and a lot more clarity.
