See, I think what you wrote is very interesting, and I almost think it is made for someone who already knows the story or has seen the movie, once, already.
It would be full of, "ah, that's slick how they made/built up that twist," or "look how they played this moment with a dual meaning" but those moments are nods/'tells' to a first timer to the story, like me.
I kept watching because I was hoping that they were false 'tells,' and that I was being duped into thinking I had it figured, but when they ended up not being false leads, it was like, "thud."
I know I'd appreciate it, better, a second time. But, the first time, it was just SO obvious, that it put me off.
