    Moderately interested initially and then it just got progressively worse and worse. Just absolutely nothing new, and what little it does do is just weak.

    I really loved Al Pacino's sad jealous wise guy.

    Andrew Scott is phenomenal.

    Dramatic scenes with multiple characters portrayed by a singular actor are almost always impenetrable and distancing (for me).

    At many points I was wondering what was going on, and many others I could sense the director, writer and actor patting themselves on the back.

    Great showcase for Mr. Scott, rather tedious and confusing piece for an audience.

    Horrible horrible horrible

    An eloquent and commanding use of Film

    Glazer has an ability to draw visceral yet subtle performances from his actors

    Sound design was utterly terrifying

    Cinematography and editing was simple and precise yet rich with detail and intention

    Tonally it never crossed into the dangerous territory of overly dramatic faux-sentimentality or to the distancing dryness of a sterile documentarian style - but managed to remain steadfastly in an unyielding depiction of true horror



    Black Dog number one on the call sheet
