Somehow not deep enough. The idea, directly affecting the problematic modern society, remains poorly developed and to some extent incomplete.

The idea, directly affecting the problematic modern society, remains poorly developed and to some extent incomplete. Different areas are shown, some separate cases are put a little chaotic. These days, everything is corrupted by the inhumanity, that has developed in this world. I understand, that's not easy to be consistently framed in two-hour film. Congratulations on the idea!… Expand

It is not great, but still a good film. Starred in an important role and directed by Tim Blake Nelson. I think he also wrote it decently that remind us similar classics. A multi-layered narrative, where everyone has connections or meets at one stage of the story. It sets in one fine evening followed by a mysterious tragedy. Then the story moves back in time for days to introduce all the characters and their intentions in the life. Different families dealing the different issues, but they all lead to that particular evening where it somewhere links them in and bring a fitting end with a twist.

So when the film nears the final segment, the curious among us rises. The common mistake we make while predicting the end is once again certain when the final push successfully takes us by a surprise. I am not saying it is a masterstroke, but comparing with the rest of the film, it was good. An independent drama film, except some sexual and drug references, it can be watched by the adults and matured teens, but the pace might trouble you in some parts with slowing a bit.

Actors were awesome. Since it is a multi-starrer, everyone had small screenspace, but excelled in that. The disappointment is Kristen Stewart, if you are going to expect more from her role. So the film lacks the star value. Having a good story, but not having the marketable stars made the film to sink deep bottom without a trace. Yep, as for now it needs more viewers, despite whatever result it produces. Other than that this film surely not bad as it was tagged. I will definitely recommend it.

One of those ensemble movies that show how diverse lives come to meet at a moment in time and how it changes them. Good thought but I don't think this movie delivers.
