Mar 16, 201380The sum of the film is greater than its parts, and while it does make demands of its audience, the cumulative emotional impact is startling.

70Viewers 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.
