The movie not only scatters undotted Is and uncrossed Ts in its wake, but unsquared circles, unfactored primes, unrisen souffles and unconsummated consummations.

García Bernal, also known for his role in Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN, can currently be seen in THE MOTORCYCLE DIAIRES, Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film. Natalia Verbeke has recently starred in the Oscar®-nominated SON OF THE BRIDE (EL HIJO DE LA NOVIA) and the BAFTA® awardwinning JUMP TOMORROW. Rounding out the cast is James D'Arcy, known for his role in Peter Weir's MASTER AND COMMANDER. dot the i is the debut feature from director Matthew Parkhill, an award-winning novelist and screenwriter. A sexy love triangle forms on the eve of her wedding when Carmen (Verbeke) recklessly kisses an attractive stranger named Kit (García Bernal). Having recently fled a violent and volatile relationship in Spain, Carmen has found comfort and safety with her adoring fiancé Barnaby (D'Arcy); but her passions are aroused by one kiss from Kit and she is immediately torn between her emotions and her loyalty to the man she is to marry. Carmen's journey teaches her that things, and people, are never quite what they seem. This thrilling tale toys with illusion and reality, passion and artifice, and takes audiences on a suspenseful race through the streets of London. dot the i, an Arcane Pictures / Summit Entertainment Production filmed entirely on location in London, is produced by Meg Thomson and George Duffield. Summit Entertainment financed the picture and handles worldwide sales and distribution, with the exception of Spain.

Reviews for Dot the I
If Dot the i, the directorial debut of Matthew Parkhill (who also wrote the screenplay), has a crass visual flash, it fails to give its characters any credible substance.
Gael Garcia Bernal I think is really becoming a major force as a leading man. He’s very good.
A gimmicky first-time feature that bears all the unfortunate earmarks of an ambitious but empty directorial vision.
Behind its slick veneer and the glibness of its preposterous premise and dark twists, there's a yawning absence of charm or substance in this London-set love triangle, as well as a lack of chemistry between its three leads.
