Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member mostly because of the actors :) I'm not sure I understood the movie. ;) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is my favorite type of film: a thriller with only a few characters and all the action unfolding in one location. This set-up forces the script to be resourceful, the characterizations to be complex, and the dialogue to be intelligent because the film would uninteresting and uninvolving otherwise. Some of my favorite films fit this description - "Sleuth", "Deathtrap", and "Death and the Maiden" to name a few - so needless to say, I had high hopes for this psycho-thriller two-hander from Germany. And I am happy to say that I was pleased with the results. Now, the film will by no-means join the ranks of those films I previously mentioned, but it is still a solid entry into the small sub-genre of thrillers which I will tentatively call "chamber thrillers". The film works due to the solid performances from the two main stars and the complex characters they embody. Whenever the plot seems to slow down, the film throws us a startling revelation about the characters to grab our attention. The downside to this formula is that the script is very much episodic, moving from moment to moment, rather than being a cohesive whole. Regardless, the twist and turns the plot takes are - at times - genuinely surprising, but makes them really work is the film's lack of subjectivity - we have no clue whether these are lies being told or actual events that occurred. As a result, there is constant doubt and suspicion. Though, admittedly, the film ends on a note which leaves much unanswered, and in retrospect the film is much-ado-about-nothing - a lot of questions but no answers. Still, the film is cleverly told and interesting throughout, even if it ends being inconsequential in the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
