I cannot explain or fully comprehend Primer, but I do consider it absolutely brilliant and will throw the word "masterpiece" out into the fray as well. This film is fantastically realized, particularly given the budget limitations, miniscule shooting crew, and overtaxed role taken on by first-time director, producer, actor, and editor Shane Carruth. The camera movement and photography is of a very high quality, the acting is completely serviceable, and the story itself is wonderfully complex and convoluted.
