Perception

The poor acting sabotages an interesting idea. Period.

This is a beautifully shot and acted film. Not everyone will appreciate what happens here since you have to pay attention. Unique perspective and tone and leans in on the psychological elements. Those expecting a cookie-cutter thriller will be either pleasantly surprised or disappointed. Keeps you thinking and guessing after it's over.

Terrific, captivating thriller! It left the audience wanting more. I didn't want the movie to end.

So...I am very confused as to why this movie got so many 10s. I didn't watch the trailer so I went into it with only reading the brief movie description. Didn't read any of the reviews prior to - just saw all of the 10s and was hopeful this would be a hidden gem. Nope. So I think this movie could have been much better if the male was role was casted to someone else. When he took off his shirt for the first time, I was like most girls, drooling. But that quickly fell apart as the movie progressed and his acting skills declined - oh and his hair unraveled. Seriously, I found myself distracted in so many scenes because of his haircut. Sounds vain, sure, but I'm just being honest. Especially during the first sex scene - bursted out laughing. I have a feeling I'm not the only viewer who did too. The final "struggle" was so overacted and contrived that I once again was laughing. I think the plot is great though and this movie has potential, just bad casting. I will give them kudos for the art and music - amazing!

This felt like a drawn out soap opera episode (which makes sense since the main character's actor is on General Hospital). I cannot understand the praise in these other reviews, the plot was extremely ambiguous and I had no idea where it would lead to. Sure there were some steamy bedroom scenes that many women likely get a kick out of, but the acting was so bad. I only finished this film because of how laughable the characters' motivations were. The drawings that the child character (Hugo) conjured up didn't make sense to me. I also didn't understand how the spirit of Maggie manifested itself (if it did at all).
