This movie is so boring, I had to try really hard making it past the first 10 minutes, even more past the second 10 minutes and didnt make it past the 30 minute mark. Only hipsters can rate this above 1 star, its a wast of time and utter bad
I saw the scores on here before I watched the movie and after I guess that some people just didn't get it.
I loved it. And yes, why not say how great the direction was, how beautifully shot it was and the acting was impeccable. Why not say that? It was!!
It felt a little Twin Peaks in a good way but it's clear that it was originally a play and has the pace of a play but it kept me hooked from beginning to end. It's clearly full of metaphors and allegory, so if you don't get it all then that's probably a good thing. I hate being spoon fed information and I'm more that happy to engage my brain and become immersed in the world the director wants me to go in.
More please :)

No, it's not, so it doesn't get a pass. All the usual hackneyed, cliches associated with this plot... yes, we've seen it before, done a lot better ('The Forgiven', for a start, and the scene from Michael Clayton too, off the top of my head) - A couple coming home at night commit a hit and run, then argue about it, the man is clearly abusive and a bit drunk; visited by the local cop who is not what he seems blah blah. The stars I've given go to Olivia Bonamy, whose performance is the only redeeming feature here. When I watched the opening act of this travesty, I saw all of the traits I dislike in student films - bad acting, heavy handed direction - Avoid.
A really great film and highly entertaining. The story was exciting and full of suspense considering the number of actors (5 with the baby). A strange plot that worked really well. The acting was superb BY EVERYONE, and the filming, the setting, and the minimalistic and dark nature of... well everywhere... including the garage, was clever.
Highly recommend this unusual British psychological movie. Gave it a 9 because I think the ending needed further explanation although I THINK I got it! 🤔

A silly, pretentious theatrical play that has been made into a silly, pretentious movie. I guarantee that you will be bored senseless within the first 15 minutes. When some actual action finally occurs, your boredom won't be alleviated.
In addition, there are many inexplicable aspects to the story that are never explained. I suppose the writer thought he or she was being "artistic." Well, here, "artistic" means banal and uninteresting.
This is one of those films that will never make it into theaters, and I doubt if it even got much coverage on the festival circuit.
Do yourself a favor and pass this one up.
