Great atmospheric locations, but ties everything up a little too neatly in the end. Oh, and ballet is... different, in Canada.

Even though the potential of this movie is evident,it left me dissatisfied: the narrative is complex,but not complex enough to make me enthousiastic; the acting is good,but Koteas steamrolls over the whole thing with annoying self-importance,clouding all the actually good performances; the fragmented storytelling kept me interested,but it ends in mediocrity. Lastly, the eerily uncomfortable emptyness of the club and its performances almost made me turn off the movie,especially because of the DJ.

Nice atmosphere, like a nightly taxi ride mixed with an oriental score. The plot is secondary.

The narrative is complex, and slowly brings out a wonderfully nuanced familiarity with the characters. All the same, it doesn't convey a sense of great import, as if the potential to carry significant weight was actively suppressed. But what I really fell for is the beautifully realised atmosphere. It's like a world that was lost in the moment of it's creation. Both exotic and local, contemporary and mythic: the 'baby grand' might relate a plausible metaphor of the film itself.

A hypnotic, perfectly pitched puzzle about identity, perception and the pasts that shape us. The film is driven by routine, and by expectation - images are coded one way, and then revealed to mean something else entirely. The film makes us complicit in our own deception, as much victims as we are perpetrators. "Everybody knows the fight was fixed," Leonard Cohen intones - maybe we do, but that doesn't stop us from going up against it. A haunting, beguiling and ultimately quite tragic film.

Well-made and atmospheric but devoid of a plot until the end (albiet a very good one). The disparate character build-up took too long for me.
