Most of the actors in the film are unknown, but the whole film shows an amazing naturalistic style, and its documentary sense is particularly impressive because it looks so realistic, making the audience feel that they are among the group of young people a member. And, there's no denying that the film's reduction of the perpetrator to the shadows emerging from the trees is a very fitting approach. However, the drama of a movie also has its own rules of course, which makes it difficult for the audience to find the climax of the plot and emotions when the third act of the movie arrives, and it seems that what the director finally wants to express does not seem clear. In a way, the film is similar to Gus Van Sant's "The Elephant," but lacks the punch

The director wanted to present and restore the Ute Island under the terrorist attack in one shot. The feeling of exhaustion during the viewing process is related to the time spent on the camera and the development of the plot. The characterization is still partial and weak, even with such a sensational background, it is a pity. The scream about 1h27min after the dark scene at the end has a very clear implication, completely destroying hope, awakening reality, and possibly annihilating all the crew on board. PS. At the beginning, the heroine looks directly at the camera (audience), you just need to listen to me.
