Bitch

There's really not much mystery to it. Or much to it at all. From the first few moments of the movie you see that Jill is having a mental break down and you see that her husband is a nightmare. By the end of the movie they try and make it a revelation that we finally have figured it all out... the husband is a nightmare. When we've known this from the very start and all the way through.

How is any guy this bad? He acts like a little child who used his wife as a slave. He's the most selfish man I've ever seen in a character. And he can't even see it. Why would anyone put up with that for over sixteen years? It's very infuriated to watch it.

She turns into a vicious dog? Thats whats written on the summery of the film. They show very little images of her as a dog. You mostly hear her, not see her. They refuse to show us how on earth she ran so fast on all fours. And covering herself in human poo is not something a dog does. Further more that is down right abuse to leave someone like that. She would start to rot and get serious illnesses. They have some plot holes with this. The movie is more so directed at the husband and how he reacts, not so much Jill being dog like.

The movie is not funny. There's no mystery. It's mostly all filmed in the colors blue and white. They try and make it fast paced with fast conversations and loud annoying music. It does flow nicely and it keeps interest as you're hoping there will be more to it, unfortunately there's not. It does wrap itself up very nicely. But almost too quickly. It goes from one degree to the next on a dime.

Read a review on the Guardian before watching this it said " a tame feminist satire lacks bite", although the review wasn't promising but still watched it because sometimes all of us like to watch something different sadly by the end i found saying to myself the review was spot on, although the movie deals with a very important issue but i found the execution lacking for the most part, the only thing to watch is Marianna palka who has written the screenplay acted and directed the movie but the rest of the cast is completely unconvincing and for the most part look uninterested as well, maybe after a while it looks like except the protagonist no else believes in this story anymore

For a low budget indie film, it's not terrible.

It looks nice, considering its budget.

What is readily apparent, is that it's trying to be different just to be different.

It is bizarre, but not in an interesting way.

The pacing is not exactly great, and the writing seems random.

Written , directed and produced by Palka and starring her boyfriend Jason Ritter and I think she over-reached herself.

Could have been interesting but was just one long borefest. Sure we can all appreciate the theme but it wasnt enough to carry a movie - Maybe a 15 minute short but not a movie.

Music was awful. Dialogue pitiful. Acting was ok! Full of feminist tropes and cliches. I did like the Video / poster but that is about it! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS!!!

There are worse films like "THE BAD BATCH" with Keanu Reeves so it hasnt attained the unholy p1sspot of god awful movie making that that disaster has!

I liked Bitch because the story unfolds from such a simple premise: When it all gets too much for a mother of four, she takes herself out of the equation. We don't know whether she is making a conscious choice or suffering from a rare disease of the mind. All we know is that her workaholic husband now has to do without her. It doesn't go well, at least not initially. Bitch is not the world's deepest movie, but it's an entertaining lesson about the effort it takes to keep a family together.
