When I sat down to watch this film, I had no idea what to expect. The brief synopsis mentioned themes of racism, but it still didn't give much away.
The pacing was brilliant-never a dull moment. The film fully engaged me from start to finish. The shock value was masterfully executed.
The filming style, with its deliberate long pauses, added to the tension and drama. The entire cast delivered outstanding performances. I was so captivated that I ended up watching it twice just to absorb every detail.
It reminds us that racism isn't always loud and overt, sometimes it's soft-spoken and insidious.
Just remember, this film isn't for the faint of heart, so be warned.

I decided to watch it because I like Lucky McKee's work, 'May' being one of my favourite films. I also really liked 'Sick Girl' and 'The Woman'.
It was hands down one of the most boring films I have ever watched in my life.
The hour and a half dragged on, feeling like an eternity. The slow, depressing atmosphere didn't help. While the actors were engaging, their efforts weren't enough.
The first half vaguely reminded me of Elijah Wood's 'Come to Daddy', but that film was far more interesting.
My gut kept telling me to stop watching it after 30 mins but once I start a film, I have to finish it.
Directors often struggle to match their exceptional works. Lucky McKee's 'Old Man' is a prime example.
I made the same mistake watching the John Woo directorial Silent Night, as Face/Off is another one of my all time favourite movies.
Save yourself the bother and find something else to watch. Consider yourself warned.
