Great staging, Absorbing, Thought-provoking, Intense, Ambitious

See it if you like intense, intellectual text that explores the internal conflicts of a character through short, thought-provoking scenes.

Don't see it if you don't like great acting or have the concentration to unravel the outwardly presented inner conflicts.

Thought-provoking, Intelligent, Great acting

See it if CIA cipher w/ codename "Duck" is compatible in code & in the field, like a duck on land & in water, has misgivings."I'm the will of country"

Don't see it if Time shifts and multiple characters and an amorphous lead character and limited lighting cues make it rather incoherent: "Chronic analysis" Read more

Great staging, Great acting, Clever, Confusing

See it if you like a dream-like story where Duck's memories jump from 1 thing to the next. Great idea of questioning consequences of one's actions!

Don't see it if you need linear story-telling and are confused by jumps between lots of short scenes, some of them pretty abstract.

Well intended, Resonant, Indulgent, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if you enjoy overlays and digressions in exploring the philosophical value of events that only might be what's happening.

Don't see it if you require a clear plot with logical character development.
