Genre: Drama

I thought it was a thriller/horror movie!
But it was just a drama!

The reviews online are very good!
But in my opinion it was boring!
I felt in sleep like 2 times
The movie is a little bit 'dark' that I'm not sure where the story is about or what the point is of the movie!
Very slow but also very dragging
