The annoying thing about this film is I got the twist before it was fully revealed. I understood it when they started talking about how the aliens time is warped compared to ours but I thought the idea of what someone thought were flashbacks being the future was very clever. I also was impressed with the subtle details I expect from Denis.

However, this film is not as good as Denis' others like prisoners or enemy but still worth a watch.
