Read this only after you've watched the movie and are thinking, what the heck???
First clue: she couldn't hear the announcement on the train.
Second: She watched the news on TV when buying coffee.
Third: She looks at herself in the mirror. Yeah, she really is, in hindsight.
Fourth: She knows Veronica and moved downstairs to follow what's going on. She heard what happened because she didn't have her earphones on and was listening. Not clear she saw her fall past the window. Her hearing isn't super sharp.
Fifth: when the cop turns around and looks to the back of the room, she looks, too.
Sixth: She moves her eyes with purpose at times. They are clear and she doesn't have any of the involuntary movement normally seen.
Seventh: she glances around when the brother saves her through the streets.
Goes on and on.
There are huge plotholes around the devices they used.
The inconsistent plothole devices, some explained:
She continued her role even at home the better to play her role in public, plus you never who's watching ever. That's why she doesn't look down at Veronica's body. A neighbor could notice if she does.
The Serb dude is a bad guy and killed her family. He's running guns through his fake charity. Veronica and the brother and sister team want to bring him down. They want the info that Veronica had. She wants him dead because he killed her Bosnian family.
Questions. Some possible answers: If the brother and Veronica were lovers and working together, why is she acting afraid and kills herself (I believe she did based in the sound of only her footsteps)? Maybe she thought the boyfriend turned on her? Would kill her?
The protagonist has nerves of steel. She knows the brother is in the apartment. She doesn't break her role.
Inconsistancies: Why when talking to the sister at the party, the brother says he hopes the bad guy didn't kill Veronica if he knew she was pregnant? If the bad guy kill her. Did he lie when he said Veronica killed herself???
Why did the protagonist continue the role when she dropped the bottle? All she had to do was knock over her glass and palm the bottle. Or glance down. Because her back was turned, she wouldn't know if they glanced over. If she dropped something like an earring and started groping for it he might come over to help.
Why continue the act while fighting the bad guy in the end? Wouldn't it be a cherry on top to the revenge?
Is the street guy in on it? Probably not. Just did a favor giving the brother a scarf.
The cop realizes that in the station she saw the pic of the brother, so he knew the truth.
One puzzle, everything can't be logically explained. So one may think, was it hysterical? Did she really suddenly realize who the brother was? Well, no, because the flashbacks shows and looked at him at the party. She might not have clearly seen him from elevator, which was lit and he was in darkness. But she didn't she know he was one and the same when he said he was in the apartment with Veronica??? Why wasn't there a police guard on her in the hospital? Why not just walk out of the hospital? If security cameras are checked, it would expose the secret.
The movie was good with holding you. And if they kept it straightforward or else consistent throughout, then the reveal would have been cool.
