The film is a testament to the principle of “suspension of disbelief” as the characters triumph over one another in competitions that require strategy, wit, and imagination. That is to say, the games the characters play in Sleuth provide “no end to the concealment of identity” as all three characters mask their true intentions just as they costume themselves (for instance, Tindle dons a clown outfit as a disguise in the first of the contests).
