6/10
Interesting, Incoherent, Infuriating...

I could give it a much lower score had it not been for some great performances and dialogue by the African Americans in the movie: subject 42(Frankie Faison) and his father(Malcolm Goodwin) and the funny interview of subject that talks about the types of "fella". But as a whole, this movie was just all over the place...it was very much a chore to make things fit and make sense and the last monologue by John Krasinski didn't make sense, i mean, if he was the one who cheated, why would he be the one that's mad and overflowing with anger in the scene? although the story he was telling was very interesting... and the lead character lacks so much character that its very difficult to empathize with her..and the editing...oh my, it didn't help to make this story less convoluted didn't it? So, i did like the film, i thought there were very powerful scenes in it, around 5 to 6 scenes that were very redeeming..but for the most part, the film was boring or would easily get you to lose taste in it because of the editing (timeline? what timeline?--No, not Memento-jumbled-time-interesting type of interesting, just plain jumbled mess). Would i recommend it? yes, if only for the few scenes that i really liked...
