Featured reviews
A well played agoraphobic writer in the time of serial murderer Sam trapped in her slum apartment made suspenseful by the good acting of Naomi Watts.
This film has so much potential...it looks great...it sounds great...but it just goes nowhere. Every few minutes we're introduced to new and interesting characters, all with their own story to tell...but they all fizzle away to nothing.
This was like watching the first part of a 3-part movie...I WANT CLOSURE!

Naomi Watts is a fabulous actress but this movie is pure dreck! It starts out slow and ends up with nothing being of interest. Weak lead character, complete waste of time!!
I can only applaud this movie for portraying the most believable picture of anxiety and mental issues.
And I love how we get the picture painted of New York and the world outside June's apartment only by looking out of her window and the occasional news broadcast.
This is the kind of movie I really want to re-visit. But I don't look particularly forward to another go at this darkness.. Anyway.. By the end you really feel like you know this woman. Even though we have only had insinuations about her life before we meet her. Insinuations is in fact key in the telling of this story. This movie is in my opinion very well written, very well, directed and very well acted. As a result I was very pleasantly surprised.

I dont understand this great movie gets all this bad reviews.
All i can say is
Acting is great
Cinematography is good
Script is good
Its not too long
Music and editing is good
Actually everything is pretty good and sometimes great so how anybody can give this movie less than average is a mystery or just plain trolling.
Feel bad for the director that made a great job with obviously a pretty low mainstream budget
