Review of Primer (2004) by Anssi V — 09 Nov 2011
Definitely a movie that you need to pay attention to. Other than that... I was pleasantly surprised. The actors are talented, the dialogue feels very natural (and hard to understand at some point, but that's kind of the point), the plot is thrillingly original and all in all it feels like a lot of effort and thought went into making this one.
That being said, the film seems to think that its viewers are either high degree engineers or otherwise above average intellectuals. For some viewers this works - I personally being one of them - but I can see that the highly non-linear structure of the plot makes this a hard movie to understand without repeated viewings, which is a sure way to annoy some of the viewers.
So yeah, I'm recommending this one to all of you, but only if you're willing to pay attention and understand that you're not likely to get all of it.
