I really enjoyed this film and you will too, if you like movies that are not spoon fed to you. For the most part, it follows a pretty simple linear narrative, with occasional 'imaginary' sequences.

The dialogue is terribly stilted and the storyline consistently doesn't seem to know where it wants to go. I would say save yourself the awkward and painful trek here.

It's a surrealistic movie that seems to be about isolation for the most part as each charter seems to be dealing with the fact that they are alone in some form or matter. It's a little too surrealistic for me to the point that I don't know what's going on, which would not be too bad if not for the fact that I found the characters very uninteresting. The characters are played by interesting actors which is the only reason why I was able to hold onto any interest but...
