Before the screening of the movie, a letter from the directors was read to the audience, stating that they wouldn't know what to say about the movie, because it would best be watched without any prior knowledge about the plot. I guess that's exactly how you should approach this one.

What can be said without spoiling anything about this intimate play - with some horror elements sprinkled in it - is that the atmosphere it transports to the viewer is really great. Much of it due to the awesome work in the sound department. The way the camera works with the set also conveys so much premonition and clinical oppulence (if that term makes any sense). Fans of The Killing of a Sacred Deer or The Lobster will probably recognize the work of Thimios Bakatatis.

If you're into the genre and in general like movies that work with a rather limited cast and set, this is one to watch.

[spoiler]I probably would have rated it 1 point higher, if the way the movie's plot works would not depend highly on its plot twist. It's quite a clever thing, that makes you think it's something that it's not. Also enjoyed, how quickly the situation derails at the end.[/spoiler]
