Trance 2013

Boyle's kinetic style is very much evident here and the film is visually impressive. Given that the nature of the plot revolves around hypnosis and memory, it is clear from the outset that not everything is as it seems. However whilst the finale and resolution are satisfying and make a second viewing worthwhile if not essential, the film does get a little confusing the first time. This may well have been the intent, but with the editing style and plot elements somewhat disjointed at various points in the film, it occasionally goes a little to far and loses the audience. Thankfully the film does bring all these elements together in a satisfying, if not particularly revelatory way at the end.
