Being on the outside looking in at one's own life
This is a very good film!
Start to finish I was fascinated with this film. The entire time I may have had expectations of what would come next, but what then came about continued to keep me off balance. There was an impulsiveness that, perhaps contrary to conventional thought, gave it realness...yet also a surreal feeling. It was very much it's own film yet gave nods to films like Bergman's "Persona", Altman's "3 Women", and Casavettes' "A Women Under the Influence". However this film only skirted the sureal, with some role reversals, and was firmly about healing. The focus was on Brooke Adams' character, and her arrival and departure bookended the film. Nevertheless, there were numerous other characters who needed to move on and heal. It was a type of healing that requires knowing yourself, others, and your role with them and the world.
