A woman wakes to a nightmare scenario; she's hurt, kidnapped, and locked in a room, alone, and she has no memory. The man who has her walks in and announces that he will not let her go until she falls in love with him. She doesn't know what to think. How could she? As days go on she starts to piece things together a bit. Much of the storyline is absurd but just as much of it is absorbing. The cast is about as spare as they come, with only a handful of actors, but the two stars are spot-on.

The title of this movie is genius. This is the kind of movie that leaves you with a million questions and a million theories about the entire story and who the characters really are. The interesting thing is that as the movie goes on, more and more interesting things are revealed about the characters and what is actually happening, but there is so much mystery in why everything is happening that leaves the viewer wondering. I read a bunch of theories after watching this movie, some of them are positive. One theory said that the man was her actual boyfriend and that he wanted to help cure her amnesia, and one theory said that the man was bad and obsessed with her. That theory was interesting because in the movie, the man was always telling the girl facts about herself, telling her about the "memories" he had with her, but whether or not those things happened or not is up to the viewer. They could've all been lies he wanted to implant into her brain to make her believe that he was her boyfriend. What's different about this unique kidnapping movie is the differentiation between perception and truth, which I realized a lot of other viewers experienced. When you're watching this movie, you don't know if you're fed with lies or truths from the man, or if any of the woman's memories were even real at all or implanted in her. There are so many strange occurrences in the movie, like her leg bandages revealing no scars on her leg, and she can walk, but when her hippocampus gets triggered, she starts crawling. Everytime, her hippocampus gets alerted, she starts to get a bad feeling about the man, which makes the viewer doubt who he really is. But he might actually be her boyfriend, and it's just her amnesia and being a victim of abuse that made her cautious of the man.

SPOILER WARNING:

So as he explains to her when she starts crying while lap dancing him, she was all traumatized by being raped, he killed the rapist and took her to this remote house/farm estate and has tried several different things to get her back to how she was pre-rape trauma. This time didn't work out either since she tried to kill him. She clearly didn't escape on the boat and he found her. This time he is trying out the Hospital thing to "help" her out again. So basically it repeats.
