Francesca Gregorini’s film stands or falls on a central mystery as silly as it is surreal. Fair play to Gregorini, though, for avoiding the temptation to deliver an outré slice of suburban Gothic; by framing events as melodrama, she can better examine themes of grief and motherhood.
失去孩子的女人和失去母亲的女孩的纠缠 但和标签上的【同性】基本没啥关系 充其量擦擦边 故事核心其实倒还好 演员也没拖后腿 但拍得太平庸了 P.S. 开头自白有意思 但完全是无意义的小聪明 60
Despite some very welcome black comedy — Jimmi Simpson appears delightfully, but too briefly, as a passive-aggressive co-worker who threatens to unravel the cocoon of delusion in which Emanuel has wrapped herself — the movie, trapped in the weeds of self-pity and skin-deep badassery, never quite earns the sympathy it so strenuously solicits.
