Favorite Lake Movie. 'Shimmer Lake' is a combination of both of these reasons I suspect. Shimmer Lake proves there's something extra tragic about watching comedians play dress-up in a movie that fails to be funny. Shimmer Lake takes a simplistic story and breathes new life through the use of reverse storytelling, a beautiful muted color scheme, and strong performances from its cast.
I applaud how Uziel builds new relationships with each different day, and how each day ends in an unexpected. Oren Uziel's Netflix original makes clever use of its reverse storytelling, but leaves no lasting impression. As the story scales back, Shimmer Lake introduces its rogue's gallery of supporting players.
There's meth-added Chris (Mark Rendall); hothead Ed (Wyatt Russell). Shimmer Lake movie reviews & Metacritic score: Unfolding in reverse time, this darkly comic crime thriller follows a local sheriff hunting three bank robbery.

Do the murders in Shimmer Lake, some intended, some accidental, all feel necessary for the plot to make sense?

Trailer Shimmer Lake
Shimmer Lake honestly belongs in the company of Pulp Fiction. This Netflix movie is weirdly funny and interesting. Shimmer Lake is a fairly solid crime drama, but it isn't amazing or truly unique in any way.
Adam Pally is in this movie, and that alone significantly bolsters Shimmer Lake in my estimation. Wyatt Russell plays a villain-type; he's incredibly dynamic and holds the screen effortlessly. "Shimmer Lake" is Netflix's latest under the radar original movie premiere. Going into Shimmer Lake — which is about a bank heist gone wrong, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake — is a little odd.
