Amiss

It would be easy to praise "Amiss" with the use of qualifiers (e.g. "excellent for an independent/micro-budget/first-time film") but that only serves to separate it from its aspirations. This isn't a film that is looking for excuses or limits, it's a film that is looking for something beyond genre or budget. And it often finds that, comfortably.

This is a film that could have just become another derivative crime drama, but instead the film crafts a mystery where overlapping narratives deepen character and widen the scope of an intimate story. This is a very assured piece of filmmaking from a pair of first-time feature directors without the eagerness or mimicry common to other debut films.
