Those who prefer tidy, "Murder, She Wrote" closure are advised to shop elsewhere.

A thankless lead vehicle for Ethan Hawke who's left largely stranded by writer-director Pawel Pawlikowski's opaque adaptation of Douglas Kennedy's novel.
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times

When do we first sense reality slip away? Do we? Can the film be accepted on its own terms? Can the point of view be trusted?
