Joshua Marston (Maria Full of Grace) directs Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz as an identity-switching femme fatale in this mystery thriller co-starring Oscar nominee Michael Shannon.
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.

The Guardian
The Guardian"A smart and skillfully conceived look at the fluidity of identity and the challenges and rewards of reconfiguring one's life."

Screen Daily
Screen Daily"It's neither more nuanced, literate or character-focused than an ordinary Hollywood studio film. Instead, it's simply a really thin, weak imitation of a Hollywood studio film."
