I find myself wanting more from the story. The movie is edited to follow the main character in real time, and that limits the story and character development somewhat. But that limit, paradoxically, seems to have pushed the film makers to focus hard to find the key moments of development for the character, and that laser focus, paired with cleverness in shot selection, really makes for an engaging story. What the movie lacks in context and follow up makes up for in this focused approach, and I think that's where it shines.
