A very powerful, grim but compelling prison drama focused primarily on a prisoner serving life with no chance of ever being released.
The whole movie is set in one prison cell without a single glimpse of the outside world. It's a hard hitting exploration of coming to terms with life with no hope.
The acting is superb which really gives the impact intended by the writer of this extremely grim tale.
Part of me was eager for the movie to end as it was so depressing but I am glad that I watched it. If nothing else it makes the viewer glad not to share such a hopeless future.
My only complaint is that I found the dialogue difficult to understand as the characters tended to mumble a lot. Perhaps it was just the sound recording but I kept having to turn up the volume, yet still I couldn't understand it all.
All in all I thought the movie was very good but don't watch it if you need cheering up.
