Shimmer Lake’s climax does a fine job of bringing together its disparate parts for a resolution that’s surprising, effective, and logical. Read full review

From start to finish, Uziel’s packaging of the story seems more inspired than its contents. Read full review

I enjoyed this film, the cast was well assembled and the reserve chronological order format really worked well. While I did enjoy the cast there overly comedic vibes clashed a little with the serious tone and mood of the overall movie. This movie is definitely worth a watch.

To be fair, I suppose it makes sense to keep the plot pretty straightforward if you want to keep your audience when you're telling a story backwards. Kudos for something a bit different.… Expand

I liked the style, and especially the way the story is told, but not the main characters.

Rainn Wilson and Benjamin Walker in my opinion were poor choices for their respective characters, and when that happens, it becomes difficult to interact with the rest. If you haven't seen it, checkI liked the style, and especially the way the story is told, but not the main characters.

If you haven't seen it, check it out. You may find it a little more stimulating.… Expand
