CGiii Comment
So...your son goes missing for a week and your draft in his ex-boyfriend from 2 years ago to help find him...a strange kind of logic.
This is muted, mind-numbing, painfully slow, monotonous film-making...
Clearly, Krüger decided - earlier on - to exclude his audience from his train of thought...irrelevant scenes, dangling threads and, an ending that will make you feel cheated and angry - it literally just ends - ran out of money, out of ideas, both?!?
An unacceptable dirge.
