I'm pretty sure this is definitely not a movie for everyone. It can feel a little boring or repetitive at times and I think most people would call this a slow burn. With that said I really enjoyed this film and I didn't really feel it was slow except for a few parts.
Most of the time it was tense, contemplative and kept me captivated. I didn't rewind any parts which is a hallmark for me that is reserved for the best movies, however I never skipped though anything which is giving this film much praise. For a film this low budget I was expecting to just not be able to watch it however, it constantly exceeded my expectations. The acting is great, music great and the plot was more than serviceable for me. This is also a movie about acting which is something I typically don't like but I felt like it was very well done and that really wasn't the point of the film. I also thought this movie does have a great "pay off".
All and all, I feel like I could give this movie a 7-9. Maybe 7 if I'm feeling like it is too contrived or 9 when I catch myself still thinking about a movie that is so low budget. It's as if they used every penny meaningfully. Lastly, this film kind of reminded me of "Pi" by Darren Aronofsky with a little "Cube" or something sprinkled in. I can't recommend it but I will say it not only exceeded my expectation by miles, I truly enjoyed this film. Still thinking about it.
