It traps you in its unsettling atmosphere and dares you to pick it apart." Right on! Excellent summation!<br /><br />I loved this movie. It was such a pleasant surprise. And the end.....don't want to spoil it for everyone else, but that closing shot takes it to such an extra cognitive level. Like, it's ultimate surprise was that it's not just messing with you, the viewer, but was making Emily realize that, well, you know since you saw it.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-321749690625536942014-09-06T14:29:55.318-04:002014-09-06T14:29:55.318-04:00I think you'll like it.

I didn't like American Hustle that much, because I thought it was <i>too</i> loose and scattered. Coherence is improv done right. It's tight and honed in, but still natural.
