  • The review segment reports three out of four stars.
  • It is not considered his kind of movie since he loves strength of character and plot, though he probably appreciated its Hitchcockian formal inventiveness.
  • After watching twice, he concluded greater understanding helped on the plot level but did not enrich the viewing experience; confusion is the state we are intended to be in.
  • A counterpoint holds that being disoriented and confused the whole time is the best part of the movie and exactly what the filmmaker wants.
