Clever, Overrated, Quirky

See it if You like unconventional plays. Right off the bat, it's not about memory. The chair transformation was cool though.

Don't see it if You prefer coherence. The two parallel storylines were conveniently merged at the end.

Ambitious, Banal, Disappointing, Insipid, Overrated

See it if You can't think for yourself. Tries to convince you its smarter than it is. Promising first 30 minutes that goes nowhere.

Don't see it if No interval, bored out of my mind. People sounded disappointed whilst leaving the theatre. Relies heavily on voiceover just watch a ted talk
