Great plot and character portrayal

This film is about six individuals who are somehow connected in a fateful manner, dating back to the 3rd November 1981.

"Loss" starts off very slow, and admittedly it is boring. The constantly moving, or more appropriately, wandering camera does not help either. There are even occasions that the camera wanders off from the speaking character to the background then back to the character again. This camera technique makes me dizzy.

However, as the film progresses, it becomes captivating and mentally stimulating. The journey to discover how the people are connected to each other is brilliantly scripted. It tells viewers events and yet also creates room for viewers to want more. All the characters portrayed are so real, which enhances the viewer's connection with the film.
