Brilliant performances

This foray into mental illness would not have been possible without the terrific acting of the leads, especially Jennifer Fraser. According to IMDb this is her first movie but I cannot believe this is her first acting job. As both the protagonist and antagonist she truly makes us believe she is who she plays.

The actor playing the other lead also is exceptional, though the characters sudden change of perspective mid-way is a bit too sudden. That of course can be attributed to the script and possibly the director.

The film also gets pluses for actually having an ending. So many movies today, especially in the hand held\found footage genre, just end without a denouement; leaving the audience to wonder what happened\what will happen. No, this is clear and concise.

I wish I could give it more than a 6 but the sudden switch in character tone mid-way which pitted the two leads against each other simply didn't click with me. Had the turnabout character been only playing along to appease their kinky partner that should have shown through more in the first act. Instead, out of nowhere, they becomes reluctant to the point of blaming everything on the other! Regardless, highly recommended if for nothing more than the star making performance by Jennifer Fraser.
