The characters are filled with amazing possibilities in the entire film. The setup of the movie, reminiscent with some Hitchcock movies where, assuming the well-oiled stopwatch starts it cannot stop. The movie unfolds with inevitability despite the odd events in the film; it did not lose its logic. The movie is drama, mystery, and a romance movie with only two characters. The characters are sketched, looking like human beings, but acted with humor and sadness by the two leading characters (Ethan and Sophie).
