Look
Voyeuristic drama told from the point of view of assorted security cameras. The drama itself, Altman-esque, would have worked without the security camera gimmick. But the cameras add something creepy and realistic to the proceedings. There are even moments when it appears the filmmakers intercut real security camera footage. It helps, too, that the performances are, for the most part, authentic, which is no small chore. I imagine “security camera acting” would require it’s own special skill set. I liked this, it’s unique, and it’s worth seeing.
