    If you're content to let dream logic take over, a lot can be gleaned from this odd, darkly funny meditation on life, death, love and revenge.

    Brilliantly conceived and competently executed.

    By the end, you may not know whether you've seen a ghost story or a story of delusional obsession, but you'll have had a great time.

    Lemming does possess a mordant humor as it watches characters spin out of control. But the payoff is slight.

    For something that's supposed to be a ghost story/ thriller, this isn't the least bit scary. It also isn't particularily suspenseful, creepy, or eerie. In fact it doen't even come across as all that edgy. It's just one woman's convuluted scheme to kill her husband, contrively dressed up as a ghost story. Filmmakers had an intriging idea, but they never figured out how to turn that idea into either a good movie, or a compelling story.… Expand

    Reminded me alot perhaps to much of Cache. If that was your cup of tea you will probably like this. At times excruciatingly slow, and very long. Too bad since it got of too a good start and had some nice whisps of dark comedy. But after all was said and done was just not satisfying.… Expand
