Kaleidoscope

Mysterious and oddly engaging thriller that is more than a thriller. An enigmatic glimpse into the mind of a person with more than their fair share of emotional baggage. You will not get the origin story or the full explanation of our main characters background (played with a superb creepy vulnerability by an actor every British person has seen on sitcom bit parts but cannot name). This plays to the movies strengths. Ultimately this movie does not really deliver on what it promises though it does get pretty tense as you find yourself truly rooting for this lonely man who probably just a victim of an unlucky upbringing. The non-linear narrative keeps things challenging so don't watch when you're looking to turn your brain off. But over all this was a noble effort, rich in originality even if it is inevitably a movie more interested in the type of people who love it than the quantity. It's also very atmospheric in its visual style, conveys the strange mix of isolation and agoraphobia the inner city can bring.

Tries at times to be an exercise in Pinter but fails. Too little dialogue and whilst the acting is good it's far from demanding on the actors. Overall disappointing as both actors can produce better.

It was hard for me to get my bearings in this film. I love Toby Jones and he never disappoints even with a script like this. The Big Reveal frankly doesn't. I remember thinking at the beginning when Weird Things Happen: oh no, this is going to be one of those "dream movies". A sign of poor writing in every medium. Alas and alack 'twas all confirmed. Great acting though and some of the exteriors were brilliant. I could not figure out how he had an upstairs though as each apartment was on a floor above the others. 3/10

5/20/18. Tries so hard to be HItckcockian but falls way too short. Needless to say, the ending was somewhat of a disappointment. Nothing makes too much sense. Psycho has its copycats, but that is all they are.

I love Tobby Jones, her prove himself through his career as an great Actor, and in this movie which have tendency to be an Artwork, he really prove himself as a great character Actor. But, the whole movie with its rythm is very slow and boring, and kind of a mess. Still, it is great to watch if you want to see how good actor can go deep into character. I must say I gave up after a half of it, but I still admire how Tobby Jones illustrates a persona in this one. I was suprised no many Critics gave a shot to this, but obviously did not make much of attention to such audience. I say acting is great from all of the Cast but as a movie it fails to lead u deep in it.
