A Brilliant Conflict

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Amazing paranormal thriller, plunged in the typical liquid atmosphere of an indie film. Kate Lyn Sheil is Mary, a vaguely blankly water-and-soap girl with a huge personality complex; she falls under the mind control of a mysterious stranger and starts a morbid connection with him, kind of Freudian and magic. A very intriguing story, not gory at all (blood scenes are "covered" by a strange iridescent halo coming from killed people), full of gloominess and narrated in a hushed voice.
