Reviews
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
