It's not the first time... you feel the plot, direction and acting somehow lures you in. Nothing is happening yet. But If it starts out with this much complexity - surely someone has put in massive effort into "the Great Reveal". Surely the hours spent, seemingly, going nowhere are building up to an intricate crescendo - one which clarifies confusion and leads to one of those "aha moments". Sadly, no.
Your time invested will receive no great reward. The ending may just as well have been drawn at random by the National Lottery (your numbers didn't come up this time). The arduous complexity doesn't, by a stroke of script genius, turn into simplicity. The, much longed for, "Now I get it moment" never arises. "Safe" dwindles into a sense of something lacking, possibly with a sting of frustration - while the confusion lingers on.
