How do I even begin to explain..


Every time I suggest this movie to someone and they reply with a 'Oh yeah I tried watching that, I got bored' or 'That movie is so boring', I just freeze. I don't even know what to say or how to begin.

There's just so many complex layers of why this Movie is so brilliant I can't put it to words. Plus I don't like telling people to expect a twist ending. I feel like that defeats the purpose of a twist ending.

"Nah, it gets better... Give it a chance".

Damn it.. Fair enough.

Not every movie is for everyone. This one requires a level of attention and analysis that a lot of people don't want to out into a film. Even if they do, it may not be to their tastes. I feel your pain though.
