The ending was fairly confronting though, don't you think?

Kind of made sense of the whole mess...


Totally.

It explained pretty much everything.

Which I guess is why I'm in 2 minds about it.
At first I didn't like it's self indulgent slow pace, but then by the end I was entranced by it.
And it's stuck with meall day, meaning it had an impact on me.
I'm just trying to work out if that impact was positive or negative...

There are quite a few pros and cons - som which could be considered both...


*the slow pace made it stand out from regular films yet made it hard to grab the attention of the audience.

*it wasn't shot or recorded particularly well but this then gave the film it's very personal and voyeuristic undertones

*the long overdrawn scenes (the driving ones) were quite tiring but hypnotic and made the audience anticipate the next bit of action (no matter how small it may have been)
