Fifth Paragraph: In which Kyle concludes his review
Shimmer Lake is
a film that is shot and plotted as a crime thriller but acted and written as a
comedy. It is a tough dynamic to pull off but it largely succeeds. Anchored by
a strong cast and some great use of reverse chronology, Oren Uziel's
directorial debut is the best Netflix original movie to date that is sure to reward multiple rewatches.
