User Reviews

one of the most misunderstood films out there, love it.

If you can stomach the premise, there is something hauntingly alluring and terrifyingly tragic about this that makes it stick with you

Enjoyable mystery drama thriller, underrated with an interesting idea. Well acted by all too

Keeps you guessing till the end but it could have been way better.

Jonathan Glazer is gonna be up with the greats by the next generation.

It was quite slow and the actors don’t show any emotion, but the plot was really interesting, unique, and creepy.

Jonathan Maurice

The stone skipped ripples of crushing grief, quietly washing over time and lives. Cool, calm, painterly.

Maybe all we have are reincarnations of the same ideal of love. Can we love someone at all?

Angelos Loukatos

Technically there was nothing wrong, but the premise was ridiculous and irritating.

Controversial, salacious and deeply intriguing. I couldn’t stop watching.
