As Tom (Michael Shannon) celebrates his birthday with a group of close friends in Brooklyn, he is startled to see a woman from his distant past at the party. Jenny — or Alice (Rachel Weisz), as she now calls herself — first denies even knowing Tom, but as the evening progresses, she reveals a shocking secret. After disappearing from Tom's life 20 years earlier, she began to reinvent herself every few years, taking on a new name, a new career and a new life each time. After giving Tom a glimpse of what life could be like if he lets go of the safety and security he has so carefully created, Alice asks him to make a choice that will change everything.

51st KVIFF - terribly uninteresting and boring. I slept through almost half of it, but, according to what my mate told me, I didn’t miss anything.

Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors, and I know that no matter where I see him, he just never disappoints me - and he didn't disappoint me in this film either, where he has a great companion in Rachel Weisz. Despite its conversational nature, I enjoyed their story about truth and human identity, precisely because of their acting performances.
