Conceptually, a good film. Some flaws in executing a complex way to tell a story. It passed the netflix test. I stopped whatever I was doing at the time because I wanted to pay this film more attention. I needed to know what was going on in a very unpredictable and messy first 20 minutes.
Once I grasped there was a kind of spiderverse type idea, then I started to enjoy it. Where it went wrong is me wondering if the protagonist somehow already knew by the time of the interrogation. The film jumped around a lot confusing me a bit. It just needed something in the corner telling us the viewer what the date and time was. Instead we had to Work it out which was time consuming mentally
The acting was on point for the uncle and niece relationship. That pivot was crucial to the film. Great acting by the lead. The film just failed a bit in the supporting cast who were a bit unconvincing. Just hard to see how consistency was maintained with the time jumping and the day of the murder shifting. It's also a bit hard to see anyone being shot like that continue without bleeding out.
I hope the dvd has some of the key scenes in it which I think must have been deleted for the cinema cut.
