Director: Steven Soderbergh. Cast: Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Amy Irving, Jay Pharoah, Juno Temple, Matt Damon. 98 min. Rated R. Thriller.
Several years ago, Soderbergh said he's retiring from directing. Then he keeps directing film and TV, which is fine, but you'd think these are probably passion projects enticing enough to be pulling him out of retirement - not annoying artsy-looking psychobabble which you're not sure is about health insurance fraud, or psychotic delusions, or stalker mentality, or all the above. What you are sure, is that the movie is designed to bother the viewer, under the guise of a psychological thriller, to the very last minute. Literally the last minute.
PS: Hard to believe: the first and last time we saw Joshua Leonard, was in The Blair Witch Project as one of the lost hikers ... 20 years ago.
