If I’d hiked all day to get to the fishing spot and had no communication with the outside world and it looked like an accident, then I’d wait til I got back too.

I’m not into post-natal depression and domestic violence. Are there pretty shots of the countryside?

There are many pretty shots of the countryside. I had trouble finding pictures for this review but the official site has a nice set of landscape pictures taken by the director.

In the film, it does not look like an accident. Looks more like a murder, possibly worse. Would this change your opinion?

If it was a murder, then there might be a murderer in the area. Could sway my actions. Also I don’t like fishing, so I’d go home.

Pretty pictures.

Can you explain what you mean by “clinical” directing? I want to discuss this point, but I’m don’t think I understand exactly.

I was thinking about that today actually, I’m not entirely sure what I meant either. I don’t remember much hand-held work or close-ups, I suppose. The camera felt very much like an observer rather than involved in the action, which I liked. For example the fight between Claire and Stewart, which if I recall correctly sort of moved to the left of frame and fell down behind a table, and the camera stayed mostly still.

But it’s quite possible that I’m both misremembering and talking out of my arse.
