Despite a slow start, there are one or two moments that hint at the film being good on the whole - a few strong characters (mostly through the supporting cast), played well, interacting in an interesting, claustrophobic environment could have been pretty good if it wasn't for the dismal story arc, which suddenly and rapidly descends into comparing emotional scars. The climatcic revelation has absolutely nothing to do with the context of the rest of the film, and appearing as it does at the end, like an obsecene sock puppet (referencing very real atrocities which have no place in a pretentious film) comes across as sensationalist, tactless and tasteless. Beautifully shot poignancy by numbers that might make you angry for entirely the wrong reasons.
