I enjoyed this film quite a bit. Part of watching it is the process of trying to figure out what's going on, as the non-linear chronological progression gradually reveals more. It is understandable that some people won't enjoy a film that is this labyrinthine, as it can be confusing. However for my part, I felt that it was very well written and directed, and the mystery was a virtue. The cinematography is very artistically executed; a beautiful (although dark) film for the eyes. I thought that the two lead actors did well, and in particular I was glad to see Olesya Rulin get a serious role like this. I would like to see her some more. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who appreciates psychologically serpentine films that are thought-provoking in an impressionistic sort of way.
