Good from a Critical Perspective

Good from a critical perspective, but not entertaining to watch. Basically, a guy with a facial deformity gets a mask that allows him to appear as a different person, but he begins to lose his original identity. The use of mirrored shots and reflections, the dual nature of the main story contrasting wit the secondary story of a young girl, and the fact that most scenes occur between two people, all do a good job of expression the 'dual-personality' theme of this movie. The camerawork and acting are great. The move itself, however, just isn't engaging. The plot feels slow, the secondary thread just distracts from the main one, and the main thread essentially devolves into the main character trying to prove that his wife would cheat on him because of his deformity. Basically, it's a soap-opera until the last 10 or so minutes, when the pace picks up. Visually enjoyable, but story-wise, not so much.
