Review: (#1, C) Why does the white lines segmenting the areas of the poster not match up with the grooves in the floor. It creates something a bit disconcerting and perhaps that’s the intent. Perhaps also this is just a scene from the film and won’t make sense without that context. Either way, it doesn’t energize the viewer.

Trailer Rating: C+

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1, C+) The trailer tries to limit the dialogue and also the plot revelation. The images are suggestive, allowing the audience to draw its own conclusions but confusion isn’t what it should be generating.

Oscar Prospects:

This could be one of the year’s biggest contenders with strong reviews out of the festivals.
