I saw this at Sundance with no preconceptions about what it would be like and was riveted by its twists and turns. It is very funny at times while dealing with heavy subjects. There's no safety net of presumption that it will all turnout OK, redemption will happen. The acting is really good - just the right OTT edge to push it over the line into black farce, but not so far over that you stop fearing what might happen next. I guess there is a serious point being made about truth and delusion (rather than good and evil) though the director, who spoke after the film, seemed happy that we had mostly taken it as comedy. I definitely want to see it again, to see how it holds up to a second viewing.
