Chemical Cut

I don't think I can accurately portray through words what this film meant to me. It was an emotional ride. I really felt for the characters, it was mostly an intense emotional connection that was indescribable. I first heard of this when I was in Chicago on a trip and saw posters on the street. The posters looked really well drawn, and it was like a book: you see a GREAT IMAGE and you want to see more. I couldn't find anything for a long time, maybe two years. I found it on Amazon recently and really enjoyed this. I laughed, cried, and as a man this is rare.

I can tell you it's a very unique film I have never seen anything like this before. So, if you are into a film that will make you think about qualities of life, and better appreciate film as an art, you will very likely enjoy this. I don't know if a physical copy is available anywhere, but if there is, I want to buy one.

A perfect example of what a 'budget' movie can achieve with a first class director and writers.

Director/writer: Marjorie Conrad has created a story of an immature young girl wanting something out of her life she slowly discovers that she is woefully unprepared to meet. Everyone, even her best friend, talks down to her which only feeds her insecurities.

Conrad has created a visually abstract and lonely environment for the main character's journey into the 'modeling' world and it cold reception for the nobodies knocking at it's door.

Marjorie Conrads first movie and directing hits it out of the park. Very funny, submerse cast and quirky story that makes you wanna cheer the Irene along. I hope this isnt the first and last time shes giving the chance to create a movie. Just wow, watch you wont be disappointed.

You should watch this if you were a model and want to remember how much you hated it and it wasn't what you hoped for. I can't believe I sat through half of it.

People give it low ratings , mostly women, because it makes them uncomfortable about their experiences as an aspiring whatever but I like the honesty and also the kind of admission that her issues are because of her lofty expectations, not someone who stays in reality or is built for the long haul like the chubby friend who smokes weed in this instance. Happiness and finding yourself isn't about a career or money or car as all these "aspiring" women eventually find out, sooner or later. Stay grounded and work slowly towards your goals and make the best of the journey. Life really isnt harder than that
