I wanted to see this film because another movie directed and written by Martin McDonagh, In Bruges. That was one of those rare films that I rate highest and therefore I had to see this one.
Maybe it's the high expectations, but it felt a bit boring to me. This guy loses his wife to some sickness, boards a train, all depressed, and has one of the most possible annoying days. The tension is palpable, all actors play really well and the ending is both a bit predictable as an idea, but surprising as the emotion it produces. Kind of like expecting to be treated with candy, but getting surprised by the taste of it.
All in all a short film I can't rate. It has everything, but also nothing. For me, it stays in limbo, leaving me undecided.
