Acting is good. Cinematography pretty good, although it overuses the "disturbing" wide angle from way above eyeline. I do understand the camerawork, music and the stripped off dialogue as a means to induce a sort of uneasy mood. The set designs and locations are good and the opening scenes are very promising but then half way through I start to lose interest as the plot stagnates and my questions are more than the answers. It is not the questions of plot but the questions of the story. At the end I'm rather empty with no real lasting impression. Some refer to it as disturbing, sure the concept is disturbing and it of course relies upon the oddity of the characters to make it work. Normal people would resort to shrinks, cops or even shamans but these guys won't even consider it.
