I read about the film here and saw the high rating it got, just a couple of hours before I saw it in the theater. I kinda already knew it wasn't going to be worth the 9 stars it got here at that time. Did the cast and crew rate it themselves? I think so.
Because I didn't like it at all. The drama was much too easy, as it often is with Dutch art-house cinema. The first 20 minutes are okay. Interesting scenes, good acting (which remains). Then the turning point comes (that's not a spoiler, right?). Normal people start behaving as art-house character weirdos for a moment. The rest of the drama turns into slow scenes and long depressive looks. And a few minutes after the twist you already know how this story is going to end. So all that remained for me was being dragged through the rest of it. Good acting kept it from being totally boring and cliché. I'm happy its only 83 minutes.
