The movie fails early, at story telling, as the script is just plain terrible. The basic premise is that the female lead character has spent 20 years in the US training and then launching her career as a neurosurgeon only to abandon everything because she met a Hungarian fellow neurosurgeon at a conference. I understand poetic license and creative liberties, but this is just plain silly in its implausibility and is just not a great story. Then some weird obsession unfolds, with a meaningless end. So the movie is neither a psychological thriller or a subtle psychological narrative of any kind, nor is it romantic in any meaningful way. The soundtrack is entry level, as well. The director should stop writing her own scripts and shop for quality material written by others.
Some of the moody shots of Budapest are beautiful but they are merely an esthetic addition, unable to carry over this sad product. Camera work is also somewhat beginner-ish with the many pointless close-up takes.
