Strange, dark and unsettling, Writer/Director Nicole Emanuel delivers the disquieting portrait of a detached and delusional woman who becomes completely unhinged when her tenuous grip on reality is abruptly severed by wickedly unwelcome news.
Megan Guinan (TV's "Limitless") is hauntingly beguiling as Gina, a lonely young lady immersed in a massively misguided search for what she perceives to be love. After her sweet dream of domestic bliss is irrevocably shattered, we watch as she descends into an autonomous nightmare. It is an unnerving odyssey, one which culminates in a shocking moment of swift and sick revenge, embodying vicious payback against unwary representation of the gender that has so cruelly betrayed her.
Larry Langton does a much more than credible job as Cinematographer for this provocative low budget project, displaying a keen eye for dimly lit scenes and shadowy images. Langton's expertise lends significant amplification to the persistent sensation of disorientation and isolationism inherent in this ominous narrative.
The upshot gleaned from watching "Love, Gina"? Be careful with whom you flirt. Or, far more frightening, who you fu-- with.
But perhaps the most resounding message one may extract is this...
Do NOT roam too close to the edge.
