Featured review
I'm not feeling it
This film tells the story of a couple who is invited to a dinner party at a friend's place. They arrive, expecting a reunion of friends, only to find awkward and strange events in the party.
The social interaction in the party is certainly very awkward, and the awkwardness lasts for far too long for me to enjoy the film. After an hour into the story, finally there's something to see. Unfortunately the events happen fast and in darkness, there are times when I can hardly figure out what is happening. This is a pity, as the story could have been thrilling and mysterious. It seems many people like this film, but I'm not feeling it.
