Entertainment Reviews:
The resolution of its conflicting truths proves so bizarre and idiotically off-the-wall that it mitigates all that precedes it.

Variety
Strong performances and a Hitchcock-trained eye build unnerving tension into its depiction of the intimate stress of caring for an invalid and the ways people might or might not crack under it.

Your experience with the film will last long after that scene is over, and the investment of time is absolutely worth it.

This methodical thriller becomes doubly troubling by ensuring that all of its pieces, in the final appraisal, don't fit together.

More concerned with the novelty of its three-act, "three-perspective" structure than with how that structure actually functions.

Product Description:
An alleged rape gets examined and reexamined in this low-budget thriller from Midwestern-based filmmaker Zack Parker. Margo Martindale (JUSTIFIED) stars as Janice, the heavyset, middle-aged mother of Jakob (Adam Scarimbolo). He's a neurologically damaged mute who requires constant attention. When Janice makes the mistake of hiring an attractive college student named Paige (Hanna Hall) to look after Jakob, conflict erupts between the co-ed and her charge; a traumatized Paige claims that the enigmatic young man assaulted her, which leads to Jakob's incarceration and drives Janice to seek vengeance against Paige. Parker tells the same story three times, RASHOMON-style; he begins by filtering events through Janice's perspective, then retells it from Jakob's and finally Paige's.
