There are good indie films and then not-so-good ones. Welcome to Curiosity took on too much in its story line and was in need of a really good edit to condense and connect the inter-connected stories better. Amor Perros - the director Inarittu first film is a great example of several stories that intersect at one crucial moment, as well as his better known Traffic and 21 Grams. I thought the editing was quite spotty. This film doesn't stand up to British indie classics the 80's and 90's such as My Beautiful Launderette or Croupier, to name a few. Please watch these films, including Amores Perros (Known as Love Is a Bitch), to understand what I mean. Don't watch this film unless you have nothing better to do with your time. Some good ideas but poor script, editing and some lack-lustre acting, except for Someni.

Too many ideas crowd your attention in this tepid indie film
Not a bad Indie
I love Indie films so I decided to give this a go the other night. I had forgotten the name and remembered and came to see if I could decipher the ending? I almost turned it off about 15 min in and then suddenly I was enjoying it. "Spoilers". The girl was the serial killer? Correct. I knew that that tom was him about 15 min after they met. The gardner? I don't get that part how the boy goes into his place and the ending? Other wise I thought it pretty good because I forgot about turning it off and then Boom was the end.

Lee Hunting, a serial killer, flees from an asylum. There is a hunt on in the town of Curiosity for the killer. The film is divided into subplots, some of which don't come together. There is the story of a beer distributor who picks up a hitchhiker named Lewis. There is a female walking along the highway. There is a group of people planning a robbery. A boy on a bicycle thinks the gardener is a serial killer. There is a man who shows up late in the film with "Lee" tattooed on his arm.
The film moves along between the subplots as separate stories. I found the stories interesting and was waiting for them to tie together. Some did, some did not.
