09/20/2016 This movie was one of the worst I have ever seen. The computer camera in one scene had showing the girl and on the black and white CRT she was viewed as a rabbit. How sltupid that was. In one black and white flash back (I guess) the girl hugged something with its head covered with something that looked like a knitted hood. What was that? Thumb's DOWN on this movie! I would like to add that music was very good and the acting was good.

See more 11/01/2011 Amelia has just arrived in New Orleans to find that her sister, Muriel, has gone missing without a trace. The only clue which Amelia has is a stranger who her sister chatted with online. Michael Almereya's film is a strange, interesting commentary on technologies influence on our identities and the isolation which it tends to cause. It's an interesting theme but the execution is not nearly as good as the idea. Its a very meditative flick, with the disappearance being the driving force of the story. I found the film to be too muddled throughout except for the last 10 minutes or so, which were more clear and concise. A film that definitely will make you think, but it could have been executed better. See more 05/08/2011 An atmospheric film from New Orleans that explores the loss of identity we experience as technology encroaches, even to the point of mediating our relationships for us. Can we know people better if we have no opportunity to touch them? The film has a rather meditative quality about it, while the mystery of the central plot carries the characters along. The first and final sequences of the film are one of the best edited scenes I've seen in some time, a visual poem that create beautiful bookends. See more 12/16/2010 Slow, mundane, don't care. See more 08/31/2009 Started out promising with some interesting character studies & great shots of the real New Orleans pre-Katrina, but not much of a story. Just as I became interested in the characters, it ended. See Ally Sheedy in HIGH ART for her best performance yet. See more Read all reviews
