A typical Solondz production, but with an extra twist. The big thing about Palindromes is that the main character is played by a series of actresses. Initially, it's a little disorienting, but you get used to it quickly. That's not as great as it sounds, as it effectively means the whole setup isn't a big deal.
There are plenty of awkward conversations, Solondz's dark comedy is back in full force and there are some memorable moments scattered throughout. But somewhere halfway through the film starts to flail a little and the quality isn't as consistent as I'd remembered. Still, if you like Solondz, you won't be too disappointed.
