7/10
Too sophisticated for most American Audiences

Unfortunately, most American audiences will probably not appreciate this thriller as a dark, edgy thriller sans explosions, loud sound-track, and dream-sequence.

But the film is worth viewing several times to pick up the plot twists and subtle recurring themes: such as falling and running water. Then you'll notice characters (such as the husband) in earlier and inconsequential parts that is later placed in her dream engram.

For those who enjoy film noire's, you'll appreciate the classic "double endemnity" playing on a tv screen as the opening credits roll and segues into the opening scene. It's a nice parallel between that movie and the one that the viewer is watching.

Nicely done
