Let's cut to the chase. About 19 out of 20 indies are rubbish. It is the nature of the beast. Richard Miller's REPEAT is without doubt the 1 in 20 that is so good it mimics theatre quality, or at the very least broadcast TV quality. The writing, acting, and direction are superb. Nor is the audience spoon-fed with frothy exposition. Right off the top, the viewer has to roll up their sleeves and figure out what exactly is going on with this very strange, very frazzled, college professor whose little girl is missing; his marriage is imploding; his job is in jeopardy; and oh yeah every night he gives free public demos of his new invention which, coincidentally, actually talks to the dead. Eerily similar in tone and pacing to Darren Aronofsky's Pi (1998). Well worth a watch.
