The characters, pacing, editing, cinematography, and story were all excellent. The subject matter however, was very disturbing and quite disgusting at times. So that brought the movie down a notch for me. But it's still so good with it's 3 part story structure and the twists and turns that constantly had me guessing. This was a near masterpiece.

The multiple twists ended up making me not want to route for any of the characters. They all ended up being unlikable by the movie’s end.
