Review of Faults

Faults (2014)
9/10
Starts out as a silly 6 star comedy, then the good acting turn it into 7 stars, the mystery and suspense make it 8 stars and finally the brilliant end part is worth 9 stars.

I thanked myself for watching this movie. Why? Because I simply stumbled into this movie by accident, because another great movie with Mary Elizabeth Winstead got me curious about this seemingly normal looking actress, who has such a mysterious, yet natural looking charisma, that I keep getting mesmerized by her acting performances...

This story is something else. It mistakenly looks like a somewhat silly comedy at the start. But soon I noticed the acting was a lot better than any other average comedy and the jokes were quite dark and painful, yet spot on effective AND FUNNY.

Then the acting and the story got even better half way through, with lots of quirky, mindboggling plot turns.

And then the final part of this movie really convinced me I had just seen one of the best quirky, yet simultaneously uplifting comedies of the last year.

Probably best suited for an arthouse audience, who likes quirky, dark comedies, with brilliant plot turns and subtle acting performances.

Endnote: look at the poster. What do you see?
