Featured review
I watched it at CIFF, and it's one of the best films that has shown at the festival. I like the story line and how it reflects the inner conflicts with the identity. The things that I disliked that the scenario is too direct to reflect the theme, sometimes as an observer, i need something to think about. I don't like the spoon in my mouth technique. Also, there was a lot of irrational coincidence that makes no sense, you could've made the plot without it in a perfect way. In addition to the end, however the very end was fabulous, but it take so long to end the film, we kept moving from an end/ scene to another and we are thinking that this is absolutely the end but noooo there's much more.
