This is a very slow and thoughtful movie about loneliness, disconnection, loss, denial... I'm not entirely sure what to make of the whole thing, but I found myself captivated watching it. The extended pauses and scenes without dialogue give you time to think about what the movie says about modern society and how we relate (or don't relate) to each other. The main character is seemingly so indifferent that someone will ask her a question, and she just gives them a blank stare for a while before turning and walking away. She is so dull and lifeless it somehow makes her absolutely fascinating because you're desperate to know what's going on inside that head.
This is an unexpected good movie, it touches your reality like no other movies from our times do, because it shows our reality, with "invisible cages" taking us apart from everything and everyone, it shows you the good and bad of loneliness, but I think hope is there to find a way to be alive again and free ourselves from our worst enemy, ouselves
nothing happens, could be more.
A very solemnly thorough movie, with a somber heavy begging and a breath of fresh air at the end. With a respectful and delicate tell about how being alone could be a benefactor aspect of life, or this silent distressing conflict. When oneself is trapped by this lonesome psychological horror which life and its circumstances become more that should. Likewise how one can take the advantage of it by winning that battle.
