I wouldn't say the story is great but it's definitely not a pointless movie such as one without a plot etc. However, I'm writing this review for one reason: THE SETTING! The setting is remarkable! The main characters (a couple) are on their trip to see Northern Lights and the view is spectacular. Have you ever felt the coziness of a rainy night, where it's so cold outside but you're in the comfort of your home, wrapped up in a nice, thick blanket, drinking a hot cup of tea or coffee, while watching the rain drops, listening to the wind and rain? Watching the movie feels like that because you're watching the scene of extreme cold weather from the outside and it's almost like you can feel the icy wind on your skin. I absolutely love the parts of the movie where they are in a tent & a cabin!! It's comfortable even when it feels so vulnerable to be out there when someone/something is after you. The cabin gives off a safespace vibes because there could be anything around them, but for the time being, they are safe and that's all that matters. The thrill to be exposed without knowing who is watching your every move while trying to hide out kept me glued. I live in a tropical country but I swear I could feel the chilly wind when I watched it- it's a must-watch for the setting itself! The story is fine, there are loopholes in the plot and some unnecessary obstacles but the overall suspense is good. I like Nadja's character- she's courageous and decisive. She fears nothing even tho she's in a vulnerable state. I would recommend you watch it on a rainy night- just make sure to have a warm blanket next to you! :p

I agree this movie may not be for everyone but if you're into realism, you'll love it. It's soooo intense, raw, beautiful and painful at the same time. I love the cast! The couple start off arguing over something small but then soon we realise it's a reflection of many deeply rooted issues in their relationship as well as individuals. I guess we could also relate to that, because at times, what we talk about or see may only be the tip of the iceberg.... I love the soundtrack, the songs choices feel so apt. I think watching a movie is an experience, it's not just actions and plots but it's about what it makes you feel. It makes you understand why people behave a certain way- it's usually because of their past, upbringing and suppressed emotions. This movie was an incredible experience, I think we need more movies like these!

The best thing I watched this year! The initial plot may seem cliché and you might even think it's a bit slow & predictable, but no, it's not. I am not going to spoil it so you have to watch it to get the entire experience. It's definitely a roller coaster of emotions because your preferences to the characters may change from time to time since nobody is truly good or bad (just like in real life LOL). I especially loved Adele's character- her hairstyle, clothes, the house she lives in, her flashbacks, the way she speaks etc I loved every minute she was on screen! The backstory, motives, character development are all done very well and it's truly twisted. Can't wait for Season 2! Enjoy!
