I was with you for the entire review. But, I feel you might have missed something...something most people missed on first viewing.

The plot is deceptively simple. It lays its cards on the table only to reveal (thematically) what the real story is. I caught it because I'm a huge Kafka fan. So did Walter Chaw at FilmFreakCentral...

My review may help you what they were going for in K.'s story.
