First off, like several comments here have said, this film should be watched alone.
I personally thought it was a great film. However, some of the camerawork was a little distracting. For example, the spinning was very obnoxious to me. At the same time I liked it because it highlighted how crazy and out of control the events in the movie were.
I do think the scenes in the gay club depicting the sexual acts amongst men are important, but at the same time I believe there was too much of it. I think Noe could've cut out a bit, or not show as much, and still have gotten the feeling of intensity through.
Overall, the acting was very on point. It all seemed very realistic including the harshest scene in the movie. That scene made me cover a my mouth in horror, cringe with pain, feel pure hate, and even get a little teary-eyed.
The plot itself is rather simplistic, but the emphasis is more on how the story was captured and presented.
I thought this movie presented a story that serves as the perfect example at how cruel the world is, and how easy it is for an individual's life to be turned upside down & wrecked.
I was expecting much from this movie, and at times it even lost a bit of my attention. Somehow, it managed to pull me into the story and it went from thriller/mystery to slightly horrifying! It made me squirm and it definitely gave me a satisfied feeling at the end of the movie.
