Acting here is top notch and actors really sold me on idea of people forgotten far away. Even though some parts of the movie feel like time is painfully slow I think that is, at least in part, intentional.
All that said, 3rd act of was so predictable and filled with cliches it made me want to speed through it. There were some holes in the plot as well, but nothing too glaring. All in all, I feel the ending was a missed opportunity and it made otherwise great movie feel unfinished.
To be realistic, though, this is incredibly strong for a first feature film and I hope he keeps making movies and perfecting his directing skills.
