Some notes:
- If you have to start your movie by announcing you shot it on 35mm film, you aren’t putting any faith in the method you’ve chosen to record your film.
- If you have a non-linear story line and you number the chapters in the order they appear in the linear timeline of the story instead of in the non-linear order they appear in the film, you aren’t putting any faith in your audience’s understanding of the film.
- This one’s for the advertising department: If your marketing explicitly states “nothing is as it seems,” your audience is going to figure out a lot of the twists early, especially when the twists aren’t as twisty as you imply.
You might have read that and thought I didn’t like the film, but I mostly liked it. It’s worth seeing, if only for the breakfast scene (to say more about that would spoil the magic).
