This turned out to be surprisingly quite fun to watch. There were no big names attached to the project, or even recognisable ones save for Andie McDowell so I was initially not quite sure how the movie would turn out. But they all gave good performances. I really liked the lead actress Samara Weaving; she had very expressive eyes that were always beaming with energy.
What stands out is the pseudo commentary on the effect of excesses on man's nature and class distinctions. However, the movie's strength primarily was the excellent pacing. Even though I could get a hunch for some of the plot twists based on the way they were set up prior, the swift pacing still kept me anticipating those turn of events.
I hope more people see this hidden gem and spread the movie's fame through word of mouth since there wasn't that much effort put by the studio for promotion (the trailer lacked none of the energy the film actually had)
