But without proof, the only thing certain is doubt.
Nominated for 5 Academy Awards and 6 Critics' Choice Awards, there is no Doubt it is "One of The Best Pictures of the Year."

My Comments:
If you want to watch a film that simply tells you a story, don't watch this. It will tell you only part of a story and lead you first in one direction and then another. It's up to you to fill in the blanks as you see fit, to decide for yourself what is truth.
A very good film and one that will make you question everything that each character said and did, and leave with doubts about their motives.
