personally thought it was just ok despite all the hype, I don't seem to be a fan of the spanish storytelling traditions and find it tends to be too ponderous for my liking. or maybe just different to what i'm used to, but either way I prefer some mindfucks in a film and questions at the end, instead of just general narrative (however interesting and well done it may be - which this definitely was)

again it's another film that i've seen this year that seems to change part way through, and for me I didn't have anyone to sympathise with in the first part so struggled to really get lost in it.

a good idea for a film though nonetheless. worth a watch, I think generally people will enjoy it more than I did

also don't read any other reviews if you wanna see it, apparently half of them drop something in which could spoil it for you

i really liked it. about half-way through i got what you mean about the shift, but the way it worked itself out really impressed me. thankfully i'd stayed away from reviews to avoid knowing anything about it.
