  Thanks for sharing this film, it's excellent. Really good story with nice twists. I also liked the look of the Super 8 footage, it adds to the atmosphere and fits the story very well.

Sound wise, the mix could be better at times (when he calls the doctor from Paris for instance - the filter on the doctor sounds too immediate and too close and the main character is not very comprehensible) but these are minor points.
  I only watched it once but these are the things that I noticed. I laughed in the beginning (the boxes at the doctor's and in the end when he calls the doctor).
