It seemed rather slight to me. I felt that the director was trying to make an insightful twisty-betrayal spy drama but really didn't have the talent to pull it off convincingly. In particular I struggled with how unprofessional the therapist character was and how everyone just casually accepted it. And that final gathering where the person was tricked into admitting their role just didn't line up with the "we're all experienced liars" theme.
Hell yeah, I loved getting Bagged this year.

Honestly, one of the best movies i've seen all year. they could've easily just gone for the standard actors to play themselves but they actually created interesting characters and the actors played them so well. i also kinda found it quite a sexy movie because of it. The dialogue was on point and the camera work by soderbergh never misses. Just a beautifully well crafted film .
Black Bag was another nice 90-minute one this year
