Barnaby's game -- or, rather, director Parkhill's -- is, at best, a draw.

Reviews for Dot the I
Dot the I is no different than the “emotional snuff film” it pretends to condemn, wiping out human emotion in favor of soulless twists.
While the plot whirls around with a number of deft twists and deepens into darker layers, the story is emotionally uninvolving.
'Un filme inteligente y perfectamente bien estructurado en el que nada es lo que parece'
The result is funny in its way, and in line with the movie references throughout, but ultimately the viewer is not left with the necessary pathos.
