Kudos for the lesbians, though the straight men telling their story seem only able to imagine trans or homoerotic yearnings via surreal sci-fi... Cameron Diaz, her hair frizzy, her cardigans unbecoming, lends her high and desperate voice to the conceit. It flutters over shots from Malkovich's first-person POV: "Ohh, I feel sexy!" Catherine Keener, meanwhile, smirks archly. I found her sexually intimidating back in 2008, but now I see a lot of myself in her.

Really, everything pales beside the mystery of the closing-credits sequence, which makes me erupt into tears every time for no reason that I can consciously discern. Something about Burwell's plangent score + slo-mo underwater imagery + that little girl's face.
