- This intense, twisty, provocative thriller unfolds in the darkest corners of a mind. Recently released from prison, mild-mannered Carl (Toby Jones) quietly attempts to move on with his life after leaving prison. Just as he embarks on his first date in 15 years, Carl's fresh start is shattered by the sudden reappearance of his domineering mother (Anne Reid) whose presence awakens a deep-seated trauma. What unfolds is a brain-warping puzzle as reality and illusion, past and present collide and explode in violence.

Mother knows best - Kaleidoscope review by TE
The strength of this film is in the cast, with Toby Jones and Anne Reid turning in reliably good performances.
The story itself is done in an altogether over-tricksy way, with the kaleidoscope metaphor as a clunky symbol of the piecemeal bits of information the viewer is given.
The director is Toby Jones' brother and this is his first feature film.
