    That the movie holds viewers' attention despite its contrivances is a testament to the script and acting.
  3. Despite the resourcefulness of the two leads, the movie finally registers as much ado about very little.

    A brilliant piece of work!! Though it was so distracting to watch the split screens at the beginning, the story just draws you in. The conversation, as well as the chemistry and tension between the 2 people are captivating. Expand

    It reminded me of a play - with the split screen you are looking at one actor, but can see the other out of the corner of your eye, without completely taking in what they are doing. As Chuck mentioned above, it would be interesting to see it again from the other perspective. Very much enjoyed it and the chemistry between the leads is beautiful to watch and very real. Expand
