I'm not going to go over the plot, as you probably already read the synopsis.

This is an actual film, that gives its characters a chance to shine. There are great monologues, there's some good chemistry and the situation starts out believable.

However, it goes downhill from 45 minutes onward. I would've loved for the screenwriter to explore the supernatural angle more -- how much time did elapse?, could it be more of just terpentine-induced halluciation?, but alas, none of that is present.

Characters have good chemistry but are shallow and underdeveloped, which is an amazing feat since this is a character film.

But the biggest problem by far is the editing. This thing should've been less than 90 minutes. "Brevity is the soul of wit." said a smart man once. It's as true today as it was back then.

Dafore and Pattinson do a good job; the cinematography is great and the effects and sound design are good too.

With a tighter script, and some better editing, this would've been a classic.
