Intense!
"The film was so captivating from start to finish. You realize that the film is showing the turmoil of each stranger. The utter destruction the characters environment plays toward the decisions made in the fleet of a refugee. I cannot lie that I am not an emotional person, but this film had me struggling in tears multiple times. Very dark. Very intimate. Expect major surprises as this is an absolute thriller...."
