    Shane wrote, directed, produced, edited, made music for and starred in this one. Something tells me he should have had someone else there too to give him a second opinion. 10 years 3 months ago

    This shows what is actually possible with movies these days. The compositions, cinematography, music and overall ambience of Upstream Color leave one speechless for 96 minutes, and if you allow it, you get sucked up by a plot you presumably won't understand, yet are keen to decipher.

    It's unbelievable Shane Carruth basically created this all by himself - directing, writing, producing, editing, composing the soundtrack (!) AND being the main actor; I can't think of any recent example for such craftmanship. No wonder it took him nearly a decade after the comparably complex and fascinating Primer to return.
    Who knows what's coming up next from him - I'm frightened and eager at the same time.

    WTF did i just watch?

    I don't know why but I love this type of movies. It's so hard to understand them but in the end you feel so amazed about it.
