Nicolle Alcaraz

I had to push me through the beginning of the film, which was somewhat tedious, but at the same time essential for the ending to make sense.

The amazing act and writing just draws you in and never lets go

Feels like you watching very high budget casting video. Truly amazing movie. Stunning and must watch movie. Highly recommended!

Feels very strange and unsettling the entire time. Very engaging story with an awesome cast

Lack of scenery and cinematic effects forces you to observe the beauty of acting,characters and the slow deterioration of humane moralities

Thomas Ward Semchuk

Incredibly engaging in-spite of minimalist approach-a cautionary tale about tolerance.Kidman’s 2nd best performance,first being Moulin Rouge

Hilario Fernandes

Raw and uncomfortable. The absence of any walls and backgrounds is crucial.

The change of Grace character was amazing. Watching this was an amazing experience. 8/10

Even if it's a bit long, it's a daring and captivating study on human condition, with a dazzling ending.

Sarah Casagrande

So deep and brilliant.Thats all i need to say.
