Review by santoshkathira

Never wrote a movie review but seeing this beautiful little movie go ignore compelled me to do otherwise. I felt that this movie takes a simple premise and works to open it up little by little, like an onion. Same scene repeating multiple times and each time you are shown the same scene, there is a slightly larger perspective that opens up. This is a little different from say a Roshomon - where there are different perspectives to the same event - this movie provides more information to the same scene every time it plays again - something that had been tried in the past by others but executed poorly. These events are where I believe the magic happens - plot twists, betrayals etc. There is also a fair sense of self-realization around the absurdity of a video which makes me realize that there is some confidence to the story-telling. I can actually go as far to say that there is a stroke of genius at play in the movie.. Ignore the production value - I'm sure there are budgetary issues - because it doesn't do justice to the sheer smartness of screenplay and story-telling. Not exactly sure why there are negative reviews - this movie deserves far from negative reviews but in fact should get a wider audience.
