  I'm surprised that it took me so long to stumble across this one. The acting was fantastic - the story lives up to the title, and it is superbly shot and directed. Strongly recommended for fans of the titular genre.

When the credits rolled I found myself wanting to start a slow clap. Four stars for Linoge.
