Whether you will be disappointed in the finals or not, I cannot say exactly because it can have different effects. For example, I really liked how it was trickily managed. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it is done convincingly and professionally for its time, even though the film is otherwise quite small and focused mostly on interiors. Thanks to good direction, good atmosphere, and great Vincent, this film stands out.
