Really enjoyed this. Not sure I totally got it and it definitely deserves a second viewing to untangle some of the first part of the story. But this is totally intentional by the director, to have you feeling exactly what the character is feeling and I get why it might be a little intense for some people, especially at the moment as we're all still feeling very much as the main character is. But I think this will be a film that, in the years to come, people will look back to see the kind of art that the pandemic inspired. It's a glimpse of the frustration, the feeling of helplessness that we're all living. It's beautifully shot, beautifully acted and put together and I think will be around for a long while. It's a no budget job, and that seems to offend people on this site these days, but if you can see past that you're going to enjoy it. I read that this is a companion film to other pieces in the world, and it's absolutely an intriguing beginning that leaves it massively open to a next chapter - very little is answered in this film, in fact you'll come away with more questions than anything. But I love that and can't wait to see what happens next in the story. Oh, and Ian McKellen and Conleth Hill are just cameos in this - it seems that some people think they should have been bigger parts (how in a pandemic when they weren't allowed to film anything?!) - but they've worked with the filmmakers a dozen times so this was clearly a favour to two exciting movie makers.

It has aged well with time and is a huge rush still.

I'm in two minds about if I want the sequel or not, it'll be a tough act to follow...!

If you're of another generation and have just found this, i'm so jealous!

A good fun movie that keeps you entertained for the duration. I probably won't remember it in a week, but for time I watched it, I enjoyed it.
