Fantastic!
A different way of telling a story
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
The film starts off good, keeps you guessing for awhile, but then loses its way. The ending seemed a bit mashed. As others have said, it's not great but it's not bad. Average is what it is. 5/10
I thought this was okay..... it is an interesting movie, you'll be trying to figure out who, what, when, and why The whole time. It's a good storyline with Lots of ( oddly as it sounds ) relatable characters . I'm I was left thinking... " Okay well what was the point of even Making this movie? " it was a good movie and I enjoyed watching it but it really is a movie that has no purpose. Other than that you'll like it
This psychodrama, set in a sleepy suburb, deep in the dream that America should be, concerns a college philosophy professor, a murder detective, and a long suffering wife. However, the main cast member, hiding in plain sight, is Language. "What is truth?" asks one student of the professor; we knew that one would come up at some point.Is a paradox a linguistic bear trap, or is it a description of our everyday experience? How can we know, if our recollection is flawed by partiality, bias, and the bandwaggoning fallacy?Ultimately, if we stay the turgid course of this slow-motion meandering, we are no nearer a solution, either for ourselves or the characters in the story.The cinematography is engaging, the editing adequate, but the grading is rather too extreme in the teal and orange direction. Was this to flag the lacklustre nature of this film as a whole? The dialogue was clearly presented, rather wordy at times, but not heavy on exposition as one might expect from a college based script.The three principals, Guy Pearce, Pierce Brosnan, and Minnie Driver keep us entertained, despite the slow, sometimes nihilistic pace.Although there is a death in the film, I'm glad to report that the English language was not a casualty.
A thriller with no thrills. The ending was horrible. Whoever wrote this drama film failed with the ending!
