Reviews
My main concern was that it was difficult to distinguish which world was when, if they weren't in the appartment or work. Also, the movie didn't make it clear about the concept until halfway through, so it was confusing if you haven't read the synopsis. Also, overall, the movie lacked intensity, until the ending scenes, when the drama finally got more thrilling and dramatic. The performances were top notch too, especially from the male lead, who was amazing.
So, overall, four out of ten.
I liked the story but camera work was a bit confusing at first. I watched it twice because I appreciated the camera work more once I understood what was happening. If you like sci-fi mysteries this is a good one.
