"Beautiful and brutal. Masterful, haunting storytelling of a story I wish I could forget. It's not so much a movie you watch as one you experience. The ending will be seared into your soul."

Marcus

"This movie is going to haunt me one plus two equals two right? Death is never the end of the story it just leaves tracks. The story is tragic you will cry you will aud8bly gasp and I don't think this ever leave your memory. Pay attention to the parallels in this film and the words in red. "

"(2010) Canada/France- French, Arabic, English. I think the first time I saw this many years ago I didn't quite understand it. Now I get it. Crazy premise, great movie, beautifully done, quite harrowing."

Laura Gessert

"This movie is beautifully filmed but is devastating to watch. Nothing happy happens in this film. It was really well acted and although hard to watch, I couldn’t help myself. "

Catherine Sagherian

"Not easy or fun to watch, but real, moving, and tragic. Great and current cinema. Excellent in everything. Just watch it. It will not leave you indifferent. "

"Just re-watched this with my fiance. I remembered it was good, but I had forgotten just how good. I had also forgotten the twist. Denis Villeneuve is one of my favourite director's and this was a great reminder of why. #thriller "
