The Worst Film Ever
... View MoreBoring
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
... View MoreThe naysayers on this message board seem to have a very limited appetite for unique cinematic voices. Ms. Hernandez has created a bold movie, both highly personal and passionate. She has told a story about domestic violence without resorting to cliches by cleverly switching the familiar gender roles. The result is a funny and audacious romp through a psychodrama wonderland. Who could not like a film that features Jerri Ryan going berserk, murdering her cousin's beloved pet pig and then serving the ham to her for Sundau dinner. Roger Ebert was right- this is a great film!
... View MoreThis is a great Indie film. Honey Lauren is fantastic. Jeri Ryan gives her best performance of her career. Tamara Hernandez is a director to watch. This is a truly honest film from a director that has a lot to say.
... View MoreThis movie is certainly not for everybody. It may be too deep, too shocking, too uncomfortable or maybe too campy for some. Within the dark humor it offers a very modern, original take on sex and violence and gender roles. For those who are willing, this movie has a lot to say with a wicked sense of humor and original, funny dialogue.
... View MoreBilly(Steven Nelson), a young and lonely stage performer, falls in love with a troubled and temperamental older woman, Gloria(Honey Lauren), who has a drinking problem. His obsession with her, and women's in general, gender identification, causes him to put his faith in her alleged "wisdom," and "experience" with life. Gloria's cousin Lydia (played by Jeri Ryan) comes to visit, declining to share any ulterior motives until the movie's end. Suspicion and jealousy keep the two cousins distant, until an act of love by Billy for Gloria, meant to cause the death of Lydia, brings them all briefly together in sympathy, if not understanding, of one another's emotional suffering. This does not last long, as an alcoholic's suspicion, a spoiled girl's pride, and a boy's alienation from everyone he's loved restores the walls between them. I loved this film; there are very adult scenes, and very adult subjects introduced during this film, but they are entirely essential. the film also addresses topics such as emotional boundaries, self-respect, pride and desire, and ambition.
