October 7, 2009From its opening the chemistry amongst the characters never lets up and you can't help but be pulled in. Constantly maintaining heavy overtones of claustrophobia but in a similar way to the play remains an observation of human behaviour.
I love movies that just grace the screen...( read more) -
