Warning: Spoilers
This movie starts rather slow, low as it leads you without information into a brutal murder of the parents of young girl. No explanation required, our biased position as a judge behind our screens has been established.

Then starts what I suspected would be a cheap attempt to make me have pity for his action. Probably the usual bad childhood, with a violent alcoholic father and sexual child abuse.

The non-linear cutting of scenes of different people who influence the young killer, with in-between scenes of his childhood starts as a puzzle, which slowly with growing intensity completes the picture.

The choices he had were they real choices ? Where's the exit of the tunnel?

Almost every scene has its memorable quotes. with deep psychological consequences.

The movie never gets low or cheap, on the contrary it rises until the end, which a good movie should do.

It always remains narrative, never trying to manipulate your judgement, except that at the end you may stop judging without knowing.
