8/10
..deserves higher ratings.. an exceptionally good film
19 July 2015
Yea.. has a few spoiler details..so maybe wanna read it after. The review numbers do not accurately reflect how good this film is.. for this is one of the best movies I've seen so far this year. At first I thought his persona and character did not work for me at all, but then I realized that might be exactly what she had been going for (hair constantly and annoyingly falling into the face and all). Too many films are labeled as 'master-works'.. probably wouldn't go that far in this instance, but for such a young talent she has created something very interesting, and it is exceptionally well done, and totally memorable.. with acting most assuredly award worthy. You will definitely watch it more than once.. and without doubt it goes into the 'movie library.' Her character goes out as planned, and does exactly what they agreed to do.. to seek out and engage in an unemotional one night sexual encounter. While his plots and schemes, and winds up having a quickie 'affair' (sex or not.. we're really not quite sure what happens with him that night). Then he most aggressively drags the guilty admission out of her (although it was something they both had agreed they were not going to talk about), and then with relish he proceeds to thoroughly crush her, with mean-spirited name calling and profanity. He proves how broken their relationship is with his hurtful tirade. Yea, it was a terrible idea from the get go (unless you just want to blow it up), but what he does, and how he reacts, proves totally who's the real 'loser' in this pairing... she stays with him she deserves what she gets. I cannot wait to see more of this girl's work... bravo Katie!!
