Not sure what I expected prior to watching this, but this wasn't it. This guy bears it all, raw nerves entire experience, you get to go deep down his neurosis, in a way I don't think I've ever seen in any other work, so you almost feel as if you also went through it all with him. You know there are stories where you're allowed to hear what the narrator thinks, but if you are an overthinker, you'll know that this is different, you'll recognize that "overanalyzing to avoid feeling" which is not present in fiction
And you won't really doubt much the credibility of his narrative, because the level of details, both physical, and emotional ones, simply cannot be manufactured... you will believe every aspect of the story
You also feel sorry for Martha, cause she needed help, and the other villain of the story gets to get off scot-free. It's not that she didn't deserve her comeuppance, but come on, he deserved it tenfold... But I guess, the author wanted us to feel that way too, cause he made it clear that he feels the same way about the events...
My only regret is that you can only ever watch this once, and it's probably going to haunt you for days, like that old Korean movie "Oldboy"... Anyway, watch it over the weekend or something, when you have the time to process everything he drags you through...
