Reviews / Votes
'Highly satisfying, slyly intelligent... engagingly fresh... a real rollercoaster, alternating deliciously deadpan humour with serious insights, deft satire with dark suspense... Long live the truth!' **** Geoff Andrew, Time Out 'A shrewdly ironic tale about the need to keep other people out of our brains.' Nigel Andrews, Financial Times 'Impressively depraved.' Sunday Telegraph 'Recalls the pagan oddness of The Wicker Man, the institutionalised sadism of Lars von Trier's The Idiots and social combat of Polanski's Cul-de-Sac.' UncutMore details
