“It's a great thriller or mystery, but on another level it's a film about the fact that, if you only look at a person through one lens, or only believe what you're told, you can often miss the truth that is staring you in the face.” IfsBelieveLooksPersonsFactsFilmFacesLevelsMysteryMissingStaringLensesThrillersMissing You Author:Kevin Spacey
