while the shortcuts the movie takes due to its low budget are at times obvious (it only bothered me in that a tad too much was abstract, since we didn't see most of what the characters described - for example when they first went outside), it makes good use of what it has and doesn't try to do too much, imo. it's very plot driven, giving us a cursory look into the character dynamics (i liked this; i thought it was enough), introducing all the information it needs, without a real attempt to mask this as pure exposition, and without really getting into it either: everything is stated, then the... read
