Shane Carruth's cerebral assault know only as Primer can best be described as incomprehensible. After watching it one time through (which took about three hours including re-watching certain scenes numerous times), I still had little to no idea what was going on.

Once I had time to think it over and watch it again, I realized how much more intelligent this film is than anything else to ever grace the silver screen. The acting is far above average and the cinematography incredible for a film done on such a low budget.

Bottom line, there is nothing I can say that would even compare to the quality of brilliance this film has to offer. Watch this movie, and have your mind hole blown wide open.
