88 presents a complex tale of revenge, memory, and identity through a nonlinear storyline and dynamic characters. The movie stands out for its ambition and unique storytelling approach, although it sometimes feels overwhelmed by its own complexity. Performances, particularly by Katharine Isabelle and Christopher Lloyd, anchor the film’s emotional and thematic explorations. While the movie reaches high and delivers several compelling moments, it may leave some viewers wanting more clarity and depth in its resolution.
