Too much of everything
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I almost did not watch Mosaic after reading the comments here and finding a quite poor review by numbers. However, Mosaic managed to suprise me postively - Soderbergh's superb directing style with great dogma experiments and complex story drive you into a deep murder mystery. There is something from Lynch and Nolan but finally it is a real auteaur film (yes more a film than a tv serie) by Soderbergh. It is also more than a murder mystery as one can figure out from the great ending.
Well, not sure what to say about Mosaic. It took three episodes before it caught me, and even then I did find myself getting distracted while watching. As it got closer to the end, I couldn't wait to find out who did it, but it's still a bit of a mystery to me. Even considered getting the app, to see if that would help. Acting overall was good, especially Devin Ratray, he was great! Up until this role, I have always thought of him as Bud, from Home Alone,. He is excellent as the detective. Not a total waste of time, but not sure I would recommend or would want to rewatch.
We binge watched this and were somewhat intrigued until the final episode, at which time we felt completely ripped off. We had just wasted 6 hours.
This was a huge surprise; I had started watching inattentively, letting three recorded episodes play while I made party preparations. Somewhere along the line it occurred to me I should start over and pay attention. The structure is clever, which you won't notice until you're 2/3 of the way through, and you won't realize how incredible the acting is until you figure things out a bit. Devin Ratray's performance, initially very understated, BLEW MY MIND. The ensemble acting crackles and snaps. And the story just works. The subject material, about a rich cougar and the inevitable hang-abouts, could put people off but I know the sea- and ski crowd and this is an exceedingly accurate portrayal.
