    10/10
    A film about a crime from so many blended points of view that you have to see it twice.
    This film is a pleasure to watch but a veritable conundrum to figure out. Watching it a second time will sort an incredible amount out. It is told from the point of view of a blogger, a filmmaker, several of the actors, an insurance adjuster and, most interestingly, contains spin-offs of possible plot lines in the mind of the filmmaker. I think this is where most of the confusion comes from. If you like puzzles, this is the film for you. Wonderful acting, interestingly filmed. Trying to sort out the various plot levels becomes the challenge. Those who say there is no method to the madness haven't looked closely enough. Everyone within the film is trying to figure out this crime so it is only fair that the audience is let in on the game as well.
