Some effective scenes and a good score, but overall nothing too remarkable. It did well with mostly a single location and actress, but I thought the reveal didn't work too well / convincingly.

Haven't been set off by a film before and what affected me is probably what made the film so popular with other people.
After marching straight to the Harp for a few drinks I came back and sat on the wall and chatted to a lady who said it was her favourite of the festival so far.

Thanks guys, figured that might be the 'twist', but it didn't make it any easier to watch by trying to guess the end.
