Rifkin has done something unusual here, making his whole film as if it had been viewed from hidden surveillance cameras. The cameras are the kind we all know exist but forget about—nanny cams, public spaces, etc.
The stories Rifkin weaves together are reminiscent of those in “Crash” or several Robert Altman movies. But the vignettes are well-told, and some of them even line up at the end.
Maybe the best one concerns a lothario store manager played by Hayes MacArthur, the young actor now engaged in real life to Ali Larter. Jamie McShane also is very good as a high school teacher who’s ensnared and seduced by one of his students.
