Uncertainty

American writing and directing duo of Scott McGehee and David Siegel's fourth feature explores how choices can have different effects, at least in cinematic terms. A young couple let a flip of coin decide their fate. One possibility shows the couple attending a family gathering with the usual drama. In the second possibility the couple find a cell phone which holds crucial information which leads to murder and the couple chased through Manhattan. While the first possibility seems more plausible it lacks any excitement where the second one is exciting but lacks credibility. The filmmakers want to leave it to the audience which film they rather see. Though interesting in concept, the film fails to go deeper. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lynn Collins are fine as the couple by limited by the material. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
