To all those amateur critics out there, (and I am one of them...), not all films need to be acted and directed in the same way.
This was an absorbing, mesmerising film. Beautifully shot, acted, and directed with the intention to empathise with the single character, 'Helen'.
Yes they used stilted narrative and 'wooden' characters around her, but wasn't this intentional? To draw the viewer into Helen's view of the world and people around her.
It may not appeal to everyone but for me it worked.
I would recommend this film to anyone that is willing to look at the world through another persons eyes.
