It is a strangely haunting yet comforting throughout and this is emphasised by the simply beautiful cinematography.

    I would class it as the teenage, lighter hearted Eyes Wide Shut - a film about desire and doubt with sex at the centre. From the opening scene there is no defined line between Joel’s dream world and his reality and I can’t help but think that we are actually flowing between the two…
