This film teases viewers into exploring the trauma at the root of the central character, Jonas. We're introduced to him in high school experiencing an unknown terror that's apparently flashing back. Jumping forward 18 years, Jonas appears again as a sex addict ruining his life and relationships, barely hanging on to a semblance of middle-class existence and finally ending up essentially homeless. In his grasp on sanity, Jonas pursues a new character who holds some unknown significance to him. This relationship ends up revealing Jonas's original life-changing teenage trauma.
In a good film, this would lead Jonas to some type of emotional or spiritual awakening, a life-changing revelation. However, in this film, it's simply wasted, and Jonas and the other character wander off into a meaningless scene that is a mysterious reference to an early conversation in the film 18 years prior. But it has no particular meaning. It's just there to be stylish, maybe provocative. It's the deep mysteriousness of an ending that doesn't mean anything. Are we supposed to think WOW, THAT'S SO DEEP!!! It like bad rock songs from the 1960s trying so hard to be deep they're stupefyingly shallow.
I'm really sorry I wasted my time watching this film. I thought it held real promise, but you can't fix a bad script with production value.
