The lead actress does an incredibly good job at convey an incredibly annoying and obnoxious person on verge of mental breakdown. Nice, disorienting closeups too.

I saw this one at TIFF. I thought director Kazik Radwanski was brilliant in this specific genre. It's sort of a muted cerebral piece with a lot of genuine close-up shots, but this is where he seems to shine!
I do agree with some others that Anne's journey as a character was a bit contrived. I like the messiness of her psychology though, and I think it lends itself to the story nicely. This one is definitely for the people interested in cinematography.

Wasn't sure the first few minutes, then became very emotionally involved with the lead character and remained at the edge of my seat. Toward the end I was crying along with her. I even developed an opinion of what her illness might have been. The idea of appearing to be a documentary really worked nicely. The filming style reminded me of Lars von Trier's "Breaking the Waves" or "Melancholia". Loved the open ending which continued to make me think about it after the closing credits. Will definitely be seeking out more films by this director and lead actress. May rewatch the film "You Can Live Forever" which she also was in.

I couldn't bear to watch this movie. I thought I was watching the wrong thing - the actors are self-conscious and wooden so I though this was some kind of reality show about a tortured high school dropout.
AFAIC this had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Aviod.
