An absolute disaster on every count.

The interesting premise underscoring the story was intriguing enough for me to watch this, but it's so clumsily executed I struggled to keep watching to the end. It's a tediously slow and sombre psychological drama, agonisingly boring, with a large portion taking place via text messaging - a medium which is bad enough to use in real life and contains no interest whatsoever for a viewer - complete with enraging repetitive notifications. The conversations she has with this 'Unknown number' are asinine and irrational at best. The direction is weird with long and pointless shops of Stewart riding a motorcycle, or choosing clothes, or sitting on a train with headphones in. They're not interesting, or artistic, they're just dull. There are even fade to blacks mid conversation at times. Infuriating. Couldn't wait for it to end.
How and why has this been so well reviewed critically?

Boring, slow movies, that has foreign languages in them ALWAYS score high with critics. It's a extra few points if it's made/distributed by IFC(like this shiat fest). If you don't like you can *"go see a Transformers movie" * according to these pretentious jackholes. This is the main reason I come to a forum like this. Real people with real opinions that have nothing to gain by telling it like it is.
