Proxy is too many conflicting movies crammed into a daunting 2 hour run time. Zack Parker juggles too many plates at once, and they all come crashing down simultaneously.

Parker has made a tough, brutal, and often riveting thriller.

Like a lot of conspiracy thrillers, the questions it raises prove more compelling than the answers it slowly teases out.

It seems director Parker could well have made his point and maintained his dramatic impact without creating such a sadistic streak that emanates through the narrative.

The film is overly long, has its vantage point changed too often, and proves more confusing than entertaining.

When almost everyone on screen is nursing a pathology, interest in their fates is far from guaranteed.

The movie has the kind of psychological plausibility that a fever dream does, the kind Blue Velvet does.

By the end of the movie's two hour plus (!) runtime, writer/director Zack Parker seems to be saying one thing, over and over and over again: women be crazy.

Proxy's greatest attribute is its deliberate dismantling of the audience's assumptions. Writer-director Zack Parker has made a genre whatsit whose central mystery lies in the stealth motivations of its characters.

Proxy only seems to illustrate that stupid, insane behavior is spread by proxy and everyone suffers, including the film's audience, because of it.

Whatever "Proxy" lacks in narrative cohesion and psychological realism, it makes up for in its compelling fever-dream quality and its probing questions about the darker side of parenting.
