Its so fucking slow, the setting and acting really gets you into it, but then... just nothing happens. Its kind of a sci-fi/thriller/existential artsy fartsy film that depends on the mood of the story to build tension, because other than the location they have no special effects. Ultimately I thought the "climax" was incredibly anti-climatic, but I was glad I waited to see the very end of it.
Cant really recommend unless you like very long movies with bouts of intense dialogue spaced between long sequences with absolutely no dialogue.
