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
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.
