This film is heavy on atmosphere and light on dialogue, and there are a lot of scenes in which nothing in particular happens. These elements made the movie strangely engrossing for me. I think that speaks to Reichardt's skill as a director and writer--A slow-building tension infiltrates the arc of the story, even when the characters are engaged in mundane tasks.
The performances from the three main actors are excellent. Eisenberg's character is a pretty cold and creepy guy, but I found myself feeling for him. The events in the film dredge up a response he is unable to cope with. It's a very powerful performance.
