The movie is off to a good start when we get right into the plot but keep enough of a slow and steady pace to highten our interest. Questions emerge and we ask ourselves what is to be believed and what isn't.
But very soon into it, we get fed the information. I felt like it was too soon too much, or at least not very redeemed. Sadly it's not through interesting discoveries, but mainly through dialogue that is always between two sets of characters, one of them is part of both sets. So a total of three characters that speak to each other alternatingly. Now this could still work, if there is stellar character and/or dialogue writing at play, but it isn't. Neither of these things is bad, the actors also do a fine job. But it isn't enough to carry our interest. Especially in the second third of the movie the plot grows thin and I grew bored. It didn't help, that there is no actual reason for the plot to go on after a certain point. A discovery is made, after which it made little sense for the protagonist to stay. But if she would leave, I guess there wouldn't be a movie.
The last third finally has some action. By then a lot of the potentiall is sadly used up. While the ending is somewhat more satisfying than I was anticipating at this point, it isn't great.
The only thing I was able to get out of this movie is a nice mood and beautiful camera angles and cinematography. Most of the other components are competent. Except for the plot. Which, as I already explained, is very lacking.
