One of the best films I have ever seen.
A masterpiece.
Thus it is, possibly, not for everyone.
The camera work, acting, directing and everything else is unique, original, superb in every way - and very different from the trash we are sadly used to getting.
Summer Phoenix creates a deep, believable and intriguing Esther Kahn. As everything else in this film, her acting is unique - it is completely her own - neither "British" nor "American" nor anything else I have ever seen. There is something mesmerizing about it.
The lengthy, unbroken, natural shots are wonderful, reminding us that we have become too accustomed to a few restricted ways of shooting and editing.
