60/100 When a married couple dies, the husband finds himself in what I'm assuming to be some sort of purgatory and he has to re-live the events over and over to learn something?? The premise is really interesting and it had me extremely intrigued for the first half but it seemed to get lost in its own ideas and never explained where he was or why or what its goals are. As a result, the attempts at grief, guilt and redemption fall flat as there are so many unanswered questions and incomplete concepts that I was left befuddled. Interesting character study, though. -- DrNostromo.com
