    The sum of the film is greater than its parts, and while it does make demands of its audience, the cumulative emotional impact is startling.

    Viewers will suspect from early on that things aren't as straightforward as they appear, and Clark's screenplay addresses those suspicions only to the extent it must to justify its characters' behavior.

    Before long, the film spills over into a far less intriguing, and somewhat questionable, portrait of one hysterical woman.

    Because the whole thing feels so amateurishly improvised, Caroline and Jackie doesn't so much enter into Michael Haneke territory as slip backward, over a banana peel, into some bad-faith parody of the same.
