Review by beesol

I'm wondering if I saw the same film as the reviews given here. I watched the film in the afternoon and loved it so much I watched it with my wife the same evening. And she was gripped too.

The plot was tightly wrought and beautifully and sensitively exposed. Not a second was wasted - every conversation, every bit of action in the movie was meaningful in terms of driving the plot. Watching it immediately for a second time I could see how everything had meaning (Bobdil's swimming, Luuk's overwhelming grief at his wife's death etc). Not to say the ingenious idea itself of tying in an exploration of morality with a murder mystery.

I am just so astonished that other people weren't similarly gripped.
