For most people, the movie is slow and boring and you find the storyline everything, everywhere all at once.
But once you get the grasp of the story you are set for a good, deep and dark movie. The english dubbed version doesnt sound as good as the arabic, So I watched in Arabic with subtitle and it sounded way better.
All four lead actors are phenomenol. While the story leads you to the concept of hallucination from dehydration and injuries, the reality is far from that. The film is well directed and the end solves all the puzzle.
However it is not a thriller but a pure psychological thriller.
Dont compare the movie with anything and you will love it.

I cannot lie, it's not the best film I have ever seen in my life, but I feel that is necessary. The message that it sends is really important and I feel that people here saying it's not worth it are talking through their priviledge. As I said, it's not the best out there but not the worst either, I personally like slow burn stories so I enjoyed this one, but it's true that the storyline develops really slowly. I really liked the photography too, I liked the colors and the angles, and I think that they are weel thought so they can add to the story. At first I was thinking that the plot would take one way but I was completely wrong, and in the end it leaves you with a deep message. I'm pretty sad that people don't think about this film with the context of it incorporated because I feel that's the most important part. For me, it's a pretty enterntaining watch!
I watched this because it was interesting to see how wildly deviant the reviews were and so I needed to see exactly what it was people loved or loathed about it.
The cinematography is very good, and there's not a lot of script to this but that's the point, it's art and supposed to be through the eyes of the daughter. It's well worth persevering to the end as imagination becomes fact.
Hopefully this will be thought provoking for all of you lucky enough to be able to watch this in comfort, not everyone is so blessed.
The closing text of the movie explains everything If you've not understood it by the time you get to that point.
The poor reviews either don't get it or refuse to believe the suffering of millions, shame on you.

This movie its a perfect movie to explain the Braun of One kid. I not gonna spoiler the movie, but its a movie to see on all world. But u need to watch from start to end. Nothing make sense, but Im the end... All pieces completo the puzzle. One masterpiece.
But for that u need to watch and watch with yes of detective. Nothing its what u think its is, and its very actual what it retraited on this movie. The really problem its to make u Stay until the end whiout Skip the movie. But u need to watch all movie. U in the end gonna understant all and u gonna cry with all the people on tour Room. Not a movie too everyone, but everyone needs to watch it.

I gave this movie an 8, not because it is a good movie ( it wasnt actually bad) but because it kept me and my wife wondering what will happen eventually to the family. Any movie that glues me to my seat wondering what the end will be, in my book, is a movie worth seeing.
There were instances when i wondered where did they get this and that and how did some one die because it was not clear how. But quickly dismissed it for the sake of seeing what will happen next. I will not reveal what happens at the end. My wife felt it was a bit depressing cause the film was close to water and she always is afraid of water. To me i actually enjoyed it.
