Dire British concept film - Remainder review by Alphaville
Yet another ugly-looking, boring British film with zero visual imagination. It’s a simple story with an annoying twist ending, but you probably won’t get that far before bailing. It’s more of a concept than a film, as the ‘making of’ feature proves. Lottery funded? You guessed it. The concept may have worked in book form, but you need more than a concept to transfer it to the screen. The execution is awful. No sense of pace or narrative drive. Just a series of ugly, poorly chosen, handheld, too-close-up shots cobbled together to no particular purpose.
Why handheld? Why so close up? It’s cinema. Open it out. Hold the camera steady. Add a sleep-inducing score and you’re in for a bum-numbing hour and a half. Writer/director Omer Fast makes those pretentious concept video installations you may have tried to watch in art galleries. This is in the same category. It’s his first ‘feature’. Makes you weep for British cinema.

A terrible film that could only be made in this country? - Remainder review by MT
An unusual combination of implausible, yet predictable and tedious. I found myself thinking that it would have been better all round if the central character had not come out of his coma.
