Computer sounds and programmed movements erase the boundary between document and fiction. A constructed, almost magical environment is superimposed onto everyday images, imbuing them with an elusive sense of the otherworldly. Mysteries exists in murky dialogue with Signal to Noise, whose subjects appear here ten years later.
Reviews
not as good as all the hype
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
