Shimmer Lake movie review: This dark comedy champions a Memento-style narrative

Firstpost  

Shimmer Lake is the new addition to Netflix India’s increasingly impressive original programming catalogue, and the unique thing about the film is that it’s a story told backwards. Shimmer Lake, the new addition to Netflix India’s increasingly impressive original programming catalogue, also follows a Memento style narrative that tells the story backwards. It’s quite impressive how writer director Oren Uziel manages to keep the mystery intact despite giving away the final shot in the first scene in the film. The first time the film jumps back in time one tends to wonder why this reverse narrative was needed for the story because the ‘mystery’ isn’t fully apparent by this point.
