The premise of this film requires a deft touch by the filmmaker and gripping deep performances by the actors, I must say that I was left very impressed in both arenas. All three of the lead actors were outstanding, but the relationship that built between Chantel as played by Nora-Jane Noone and and "the Intruder" (I don't want to give away his name as it's central to the plot) played by Farshad Farahat was absolutely riveting. Truly tour-de-force.
The subtle motion and pace of the cinematography raises and lowers the tension in waves, keeps what is almost a single location film visually intriguing, all while staying out of the way of the performance.
I entered this movie a bit wary that this was going to be a stereotypical representation of a middle eastern man, but that was not my experience at all. The characters are all very we fleshed out and honest. I don't want to give away too much, so I'll end with: You should ABSOLUTELY watch this film.
