The director, screenwriter, and actor are all too strong.
Through the narration of a suspect, the whole movie switches back and forth in different time and space, but it does not make the audience dance. Instead, it gradually enters the narrator's perspective along with the plot, looking at the occurrence, process, and result of the whole incident. The police questioning made the whole case usher in the first turn, leading the audience to the trap set by the director, until the mystery was revealed.
What I admire most about the whole movie is that even if you can guess the end result, you are blown away by the whole process and amazed at the ability of the screenwriter.
