A half hearted recommendation as the film does produce a recognizable image.

The grain looks like sand and the shadow detail goes black, that's a good
thing as Dmax should be black and the contrast including microcontrast goes
way up.  This is a special purpose emulsion for times when an image is more
important than the what it looks like or for an artistic look, not to be
confused with an every day high speed film.  If you want normal looking
images in the dark you should look at 400 speed Provia F and push it one or
two stops.
