The Girl in the Bathtub

Watched this TV movie on Netflix. My expectations weren't high but it was pretty well written and the lead actress Caitlin Stasey is to say the least beguiling. A good little film.

I know nothing about the real case inspiring this film.

I appreciate the effort of Catlin Stasey to propose a reasonable portrait of Julia. But the film seems propose , in some measure, a too large webb.

Sure, loneliness, opportunities, refugies in alcohol and sentimental relations are good themes, not so bad used in this case.

The problem can be the unconvincing story and the not just inspired final reminding more a sort of compromise.

A portrait of life after the death is temptanting , no doubts, but not easy to craft. Exactly this is the serious problem. The result, expression of noble intentions, is not exactly bad but far to be a convincing one.

I love Caitlin but I don't think the movie is giving justice to the actual Julia Law. The was it's being director is similar to desperate housewife, where we hear Julia's voice talking about her death. Shame!

First let me start by saying it's a great movie. The bad reviews are very undeserving. I think that those who didn't like the movie were expecting a different kind of movie so let me set you expectations right. This is not a big budget Hollywood movie. It's a movie based on a true story about a young woman who was found dead three days before her 27th birthday. The movie is told by the woman herself. She is telling the viewers about the events leading up to her death. The big thing you need to know here is this: even though you spend the entire movie wondering who killed her, this is not your typical whodunnit kind of a movie. It's not about catching the killer, it's about the woman and the people around here. It's about human behavior. It's basically a sort of a cautionary tale. Watch this movie with an open mind and chances are you gonna love it. I know I did.

This should never have been a movie! The fact that it was a true story enticed me into watching but usually when you watch a true story turned into a movie, the story is compelling - sadly this was not the case with this movie!

Avoid avoid avoid!
