Did someone forget to turn on the lights?
victoria_zahl2 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I was hoping for an exciting thriller but this wasn't it. Acting was good and the plot intriguing, but most of the time it was so dark I had to half guess what was going on. There are a couple of outdoor scenes where this is contrasted with a flood of light but that didn't really help in the end. Very nice to doze of too, for the most part quiet and slow paced with minimal dialogue.

Spoiler: After a while it seems like the husband is keeping the wife in the house against her will, drugging her and not letting her see her daughter. She wants to save her daughter and one night the wife manages to leave her room to look for the daughter. However something snaps her back to reality when she remembers that on her birthday the daughter hanged herself.

Theres's several movies about memories and trauma more interesting than this one and I would not recommend watching it even though it's not the worst I've seen.

Looking at the fish in my aquarium was more interesting

I found my eyes wandering to the fishtank and moving fan half of the time and found it more interesting than this movie. It was too dark, too boring, too slow and I didn't understand a thing about it. One of the worst films I ever saw!

Things I didn't understand: why is the entire movie shot in the dark? (Except for some random mountain shots) What is the story? What is the plot? Why did the husband speak German, but the woman Italian? I didn't understand a single thing about this movie, but maybe I missed some clues, bevause it was so utterly boring to watch.

This was an hour and a half well spend, but not really.

What's real?

Sometimes you watch something and you're not sure, if you actually watched it ... or understood it. That can be a good thing (if it stays with you) or a bad thing, because it haunts you in a bad way - as in you can't forget what you saw or make sense of it.

The quality of this is mixed to say the least, but depending on your expectations of this slow burner you may take something from it. It has some visual treats for sure ... and you may be more connected to the main character than I and others were. Not an easy movie to watch - though you still should do so with your eyes open - no pun intended.

This could have been a great movie

I bet mine is one of the very few genuine high scores of this movie :)

I loved it, but not the ending. I mean I loved the ending too, but not how it was done.

After the whole dim lighting and vaguery of this movie, the ending should have been very clear and in the viewer's face. And also a bit longer, this seemed rushed.

Relying on images also on the edge of being unrecognizable leaves the viewers dissatisfied.

Advice for the director: get together a small focus group for a screening. And listen to what they have to say.

The acting was surprisingly good from all the actors. I must say better than most box-office hits. Antonia Liskova is a highly talented but mostly unknown actor.

Such a pity. It could have been a great movie, if the director had not have such a huge ego :(

Mesmerizing!
wllbruin19 February 2022
Should i could continue watching or not. This question popped up a couple of times watching this movie. I was however too much intrigued to stop watching it. Beautiful but dark scenery. The movie is characterized as a thriller, but I would label it with psychological drama. Sinister without being insidious. Italian German dialogue was an interesting touch!

Worth your while if you put effort into it.
