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.

‘Nexus’ presents an interesting way of approaching travel and the relationships that travelers often form with their place of stay. Two siblings, Alex and Lili, arrive in a city far away from home for a couple of days, and immediately fall in love with the apartment they are renting. 

Through the conversations between the two, we get a glimpse into their lives - from Lili’s work problems to emotional outbursts and mood swings that plague Alex. However, the discovery of some photographs of a past traveler, along with a locked box, alters the course of the narrative. Alex finds himself consumed with figuring out a way to unlock it, the reality even bleeding into his dreams. 

There is a suggestion of thrill and something eerie within the narrative, to eventually present a story about traveling and the many ways it can affect someone, especially if they find themselves entrapped by unpleasant elements in their day-to-day life, but with an approach and perspective you would not expect. In the process, the story also offers a metaphorical journey that the characters undertake within, to finally arrive at a lighter, more positive space, away from the burdens they had been carrying so far.
