I got this film because it is touted as a "taut psychological drama". It is a fascinating slice of life one night on a packed train. I don't really see, however, how it is a "taut mystery" or "thriller". A very, very good film, but not a thriller or a mystery.

I’m glad you pointed that out. Too many times I’ve seen people complain that a movie didn’t live up to their expectations because someone else put it in the wrong category. They hold that against the movie which I find absolutely stupid.
In any category this beautifully–shot movie is mesmerizing with top flight acting and a delicate ambiance and mood that’s like a breath of fresh air. A masterpiece of Polish cinema.
Its a very valid point. The inane comparisons to strangers on a train that I'd read made for a very disappoinitng experiewnce- I went in looking for suspense and tension...

Coz lifes too short to listen to Madlib
To me, it seemed like drama with some mystery/suspense thrown in. Excellent film!
