Review
"This film's (and the protagonist's) disorienting reality and dream logic create an intense anxiety in the viewer. We are (by design) just as confused as John. This is a success for director, Pal Sletaune, as I'm sure this was his aim. He has crafted a film that is meticulously organized in its depiction of a disorganized mind, giving the viewer a taste of that nightmare without compromising narrative drive. Naboer never leaves the viewer behind despite being rooted firmly in John's torn psyche – torn both from his heartbreak/betrayal and his surreal experiences with his neighbors. (torn psyche drama?) And the neighbors really sell the insanity of John's experiences." - Jason Dupuis, NoRealDanger.com
