Deliberately blank motivation and minimalist production, with seemingly half the picture in closeups of the star, work better as an abstract notion than in the result on screen.

Dramatically, the end product is a do-it-yourself chore for the audience, more interesting as an experiment than as an artwork - sort of "The Blair Witch Project" of terrorist movies. If you want to see the same topic treated much more viscerally on a similarly low level of resources, rent "Cavite." That's genuinely horrifying. Expand

All our Islamic (?) heroine needed was a runny nose. We don't know anything about the young woman who's the lead, except that she feels she's making a worthy sacrifice so her life/death will mean something.

Riveting and suspenseful without even doing much- this movie plays on deeply felt fears and anxieties and then ruins your life. I loved it but hated it because it wrecked me. Well done.
