    ★★½

    unsure what I watch, unsure how I feel about it, grief really throws you twists and turns, was anything concluded at the end?

    All I know is the guy never got his eggs back… in this economy?

    ★★★★

    This movie took years off my life. Why is this kid such a good actor? Why is the mother??

    I believed every second of it, even if it felt like I witnessed a 4 hour episode of CSI on steroids. The camera movements were great, the music was captivating. I am shocked how many times I flipped “knowing” what happened. Ugh, maybe another rewatch in a year when I recuperate.

    Revision: it is more like CSI x Law and Order, as court room proceedings are a huge chunk of the film.

    This is the skin of a killer, Michael.
