This is a very ambitious movie (as every review will tell you). The first 30 minute or so are very confusing, but in the end all the different story lines converge to a satisfying resolution. I like movies that try to do something different, so even though this film has some problems, you have to give the director credit for trying. I recommend this to anyone who likes puzzle movies that force you to think to try to piece everything together.
