Ben Wishaw channels a little of his 'perfume' performance here, (see if you catch the reference), although much more unhinged of course. More madness less method. There's an anxiety which runs throughout this entire picture, exaggerated by the handheld style camera which follows Wishaw's 'Joseph' as he unravels of the course of a couple of days. I really enjoyed this wee film, it all hinges around Wishaw's performance of course and he's great.
I can understand if some folk don't like the shaky cam thing but I thought it worked really well.
I'll keep it spoiler free.
7.3/10.

Mysteriously mysterious .
Watch it and find out for yourself.
There's times you think woahh then there's times you think WTF is going on but there are also times you think what a wicked actor.

Chaos and confusion reign as the world of a troubled man caves in, self destructs and obliterates, leaving the audience equally challenged and quite often awkward and uncomfortable - which is exactly as intended you suspect. Outstanding lead from Ben Wishaw.
What an incredibly hard film to watch. I liked it, I hated it, and as it went on I felt the cheese was slipping of my cracker!! Glad I got to the end without having a breakdown. Well done, but in an uncomfortable, that jumper I haven't worn in a year is infested with creepy crawlies, sort of way. Don't worry I've covered all the mirrors in the house, because I keep having arguments with someone who has an uncanny resembleance to me!!
If you've ever watched someone close have a severe mental breakdown then this might hit a few nerves. This was not overacted it was real and raw. This is happening all over the world and people need to realise it can happen to them or someone close to them. Whoever said this was overacted clearly hasn't witnessed this type of breakdown first hand in their lifetime. I hope they never do as it is most harrowing and terrifying for family members. The acting was first class and really showed the true reality of the lack of understanding of others. My heart goes out to those who have suffered such severe mental breakdowns and their loved ones that have witnessed them.
