Black Bear is one of those movies, even considering its flaws and convolutions, that I can't help but admire for its ambition to play with story structure and screenwriting. It's an impressively topsy-turvy bit of metacinema that will keep you intrigued by strong performances and odd editing, even if you still aren't quite sure what happened when the credits roll. It's no Charlie Kaufman (nor is it really going for that level of eye-squinting headiness), but it's doing a lot with little material.
