An excellent thriller which keeps you guessing all the way through, anchored by two superb performances from Helen Buday and Gary Sweet. It's a penetrating account of marriage - some of it struck close to home!
Rolf de Heer does well with movies stuck in rooms. Maybe he shouldn't go outside anymore. A definite success. I personally could have done without Gary Sweet full frontal (do people do push ups that way?) but maybe de Heer wanted to counter balance Buday's boobs.
I think the film's third act isn't as strong- it felt as though it was building towards something more violent. (Would he really not be able to see his kids?) But a powerful movie, one of the best things de Heer ever did.
