This film touches on all of these themes. They can be separated out and affect each viewer differently.

First of all, this movie was a confirmation of the experiences people go through who have PTSD, panic attacks and sleep disorders and the onset symptoms of schizophrenia.

I can't believe how accurate the movie portrayed the thoughts and feelings of someone who goes through it. I felt like I was watching myself when I have panic attacks.

I was amazed at the director, writer, and actor's abilities to do this.

Amazing film, great story, and I loved the ending. As we all hope that our minds are actually trying to tell us something real and useful.

    Just like 90% of the world today needing to be fed every detail because their imaginations cant comprehend true artistry.

    here, here - your review really does this movie justice. let's hope they make more movies with substance than fireworks. I was surprised to see so many people say it was boring. good point about the ecological angle.
