This is one of the best movies I've even watched. There's nothing that could've been done better.

Really enjoyed it. Scenario is strong, acting is good albeit a little oldstyle. Dialogues are good to excellent. End perhaps too predictable

While this looks like a vhs you found at the bottom of a lake in the 90’s, the story and characters are so rich and deep it’s worth watching

Such an amazing movie and premise. It could even become a series where he tells his past experiences.

Best indie ever. When I watched it first time, I opened it just for skimming and skipped some classes to finish it during my collage years.

Slow paced, exactly 0 action. But one of my favorite Sci-Fi movies, due to waythe narrative unfolds, and the originality

Best non-Hollywood movie ever. A couple of people, 1 room. That's all you need to make perfect piece of art.

Interesting movie for fans of slow, talky movies. Somewhat overrated though.
