However—and I mean this sincerely—this film is truly exceptional in both its substance and its execution; even someone without a deep background in cinema could see that. If it weren't the case, I highly doubt an American production like this would be celebrated globally or distributed through major theaters across Europe ☕
And hey, even some of those recent indie hits played internationally, including stuff from Vanja Sviličić or Brešanov's last one in French theaters—so go check how those actually landed with critics and audiences. That doesn't really prove anything.
I don't see "mastery" here. Honestly, I think the whole thing is built on a massive plot hole. Not that that's anything new with Ogresta. In *Through the Glass*, the solution just falls out of the sky, and in *Projections*, they got bogged down in unnecessary security camera shots. Here, they trip over the most basic thing: making the plot believable.
If she truly believes her husband is calling her... it's ridiculous. If she's just choosing to believe him to self-delude, the movie doesn't show that. To me, it's just a hole in the writing, no matter how you look at it.
