I have read some reviews that are positive relating to its originality and the way the film was shot. It is a sci-fi movie shot like a documentary, kind of like you are the cameraman with a limited, up-close vantage point.
It is gross, depicting sickly, base people. But is it awesome just on how well that was done. It is original and supremely executed. TOMATOMETER is 96% really just on that.
What at least some reviewers didn't do was investigate the plot deep enough to understand the individual scenes. The movie only gives only cues and a little narration but I had to look up the book to figure out myself what was going on. It sounds ridiculous upfront, but I was rewarded. Best movie I have seen this decade, but I tend to like Russian stuff (Leviathan is really (but not as) good.
