    The carefully crafted Everything Put Together is unpredictably venturesome, and cinematographer Roberto Schaefer makes virtuoso use of digital video to create the images and movements that play so large a part in the film's success.

    Takes a couple of curious turns that you will either applaud or hiss at, depending on the type of film you are looking for.

    In the end it all comes down to Mitchell. She turns in a truly harrowing performance that will leave you shaking.
