Ethan Hawke expertly delivered dialogue that never felt contrived or cringey. The character was grating at first - I kept wondering why anyone would indulge his self-absorption - but as the film unfolded, he grew on me and I understood the lure. This could've been a play, but I'm glad it wasn't. The use of Sardis was beautifully shot and gave the story momentum. It truly felt like watching the night unfold in real time.
