REVIEW
Although it starts off pleasant enough before too long things take a turn and we get to see the ugly side of society. Desaturated colour (almost black and white) and dim lighting along with the unhurried pacing all serve to create a slightly unsettling atmosphere as things build piecemeal throughout this well told story.
The squeamish will find several scenes disturbing because of the graphic brutality.
CLASSIFICATION
for violence, brief nudity and language.
P.S.
Pale yellow was a poor choice of colour for the subtitles as often they blend in with the background making them impossible to read.
