00:08 I see my bed, my toys.

00:14 >> Look closer.

00:16 Someone's in there with you.

00:18 >> It's my mother.

00:21 Mom, is that you?

00:23 >> I signed up thinking I could score some better pills, not this shit.

00:27 >> I'm sorry, I don't know you and I just wanna watch.

00:30 >> She didn't come here to make friends, I see.

00:33 Got it.

00:34 Enjoy the show, girl.

00:36 >> She says she forgives me.

00:41 >> Obviously, there's a lot of twists and turns in this piece.

00:43 And going through the setting, going through the setup,

00:47 you're not entirely sure what the sort of rules around the setting and

00:51 sort of the program and the characters, how it maintains.

00:55 Interesting characters, especially the early female lead,

00:58 it was quite dynamic on screen.

01:00 I thought everyone was able to sort of encompass their role,

01:04 including the pseudo psychotherapist, in a way that created a sort of moody

01:09 intention-filled piece that eventually goes to the obviously the computer

01:14 simulation setup and the prison setup that is the ultimate pull of the piece.

01:19 I thought the narrative sort of did a good job of building up to it and

01:22 maintaining a cerebral approach out of the open to make it sort of a mind game,

01:27 as implied, both as a cinematic experience and as a thematic experience.

01:32 I thought it was well done for those reasons.

01:35 >> The person, whoever wrote this, whatever,

01:37 they deeply understand that as the writer specifically, but

01:44 also just in general as a filmmaker, you have all the cards as far as all the

01:47 information and how you choose to play your cards, what order you choose to play

01:52 your cards can ultimately impacts how the audience receives your film.

01:57 I think, so I say all that to say that I liked how intentional and

02:04 specific they were with how they revealed information in this film.

02:10 And for the maximum emotional impact, I think that's good writing.

02:15 It kept me guessing, kept me intrigued, kept me wanting to know what happens next,

02:20 where's the next twist, where's the next turn, this, that, and the third.

02:22 So, and I think that makes a great thriller, that's textbook right there, so.

02:27 >> I love a good mind bending sci-fi story.

02:30 I thought the acting was really well done in this film.

02:33 We begin rooting for the three women in this film in the beginning,

02:39 thinking that they're part of some twisted experiment.

02:45 But in the end when we are shown that they're actually murderers,

02:50 I feel like we're still on their side, even at the end.

02:54 Which is interesting that the filmmakers could make us feel this way about three

03:00 women who are in fact murderers, most likely getting the just

03:06 sentence that they deserve and yet we still feel empathy for them.

03:09 And we still feel like we're on their side at the end of this film.

03:12 >> You can sense anxiety, paranoia from the performances of the actors.

03:18 And the story is well done to kind of hiding the puzzle,

03:23 the mystery behind the program as well.

03:26 Through the portrayal of the actor who plays the doctor.

03:31 And I feel like everything is pretty well done from the base,

03:36 the story, the performances, through the camera works.

03:42 How to short the scenes, how to pick the settings.

03:47 So I feel like it's kind of good to make a good thriller out of it.
