The film establishes a moment where a conversation between two detectives takes a very unexpected turn. Through its meandering path, the exchange brings up emotions of a disconcerting past, while also examining the ideas about the flow of time. The relationship between the past and the present is explored while one character presents his partner with shattering revelations.

A sense of vulnerability is invoked within the screenplay through the progression of events that is both sincere and convincing. While at first glance the film might have presented a sense of thrill, crime and preternatural abilities, it also presents human relationships, isolation and the heartache of being unwanted with equal vigour. Additionally, the performances and music enhance the impact of all the film intends to convey.

If the story is developed further, allowing audiences to delve deeper into the realm conjured so far, to get to know the characters and their back stories better, it would be a convincing and engaging world.
