Look at an old church? Flashback! A bathtub? Flashback! An equine paddock? Flashback! Director Kat Candler never lets you forget that there are a lot of things her heroines are trying to forget. Like I get why Gina has tried to stay away. When Leni goes missing on the eve of their birthday, Gina returns home, where every location reminds her of a different personal tragedy. But nobody knows that since they were young, Leni and Gina have been swapping lives. While Leni is a pillar of the community in Virginia, everybody still remembers trouble-making Bad Gina. More domestic Leni has remained in their Virginia hometown, where she maintains a horse farm with hubby Jack ( Matt Bomer, scruffy and tormented) and daughter Mattie (Gable Swanlund). Gina is a reasonably successful author living in comfort in the Hollywood Hills with her husband Charlie ( Daniel Sunjata, with some mighty odd line readings). In broad strokes, Leni and Gina (Monaghan) are twins living very different lives. ‘Tis better not to fully understand than to understand too well. The unraveling that follows ranges from illogical to just plain dull, never fully abandoning the top-notch ensemble, but devolving into a completely generic thriller with only moderately interesting themes about identity. Cast: Michelle Monaghan, Matt Bomer, Daniel Sunjata, Ali Stroker, Karen Robinson, Jonathan Tucker
