On that answer your appreciation of this film likely depends. The people that love you the most can also hurt you the most and many of us carry deep scars their entire lives. Most of us cope, but for some of us the continually adding trauma might suddenly exceed a critical value and then they snap.

Veronica Kedar wrote and directed this film and also plays the main character. I had the pleasure of watching this film in her presence and she, like this film, was surprisingly funny (and very dark). Among the amusing details she shared was that she wasn't able to write a death scene for her mother, so her mother wrote her own death scene.

I really enjoyed this 7.5/10

In this movie the gimmick is a helmet which allows one to re-experience memories.

The movie starts out very light, even sweet, then things dramatically take a turn in a completely different direction.

Beware there is some brutally violent imagery in this film.

The main character plays his part in a perfectly controlled way which makes emotional outbursts even more dramatic. Very Japanese.

I thought it was strange but very good.

I hadn't actually planned to watch this but accidentally got mixed up in the world premiere by mistake. So it goes.

The movie follows an unlikely post-apocalyptic hero, not a dashing Mel Gibson, or a long-legged Nikita, but a normal looking girl called Molly, who nevertheless proves endlessly resourceful and unexpectedly gifted in surviving the 'wasteland', which I guess is probably the old WWII German bunker ridden Dutch coastline. This is immediately the best part of the film, our bumbling heroine who stubbornly refuses to die, and carries the movie almost singlehandedly.

There are some other actors who make a good contribution, the black chap and the robot-arm girl especially, but for the rest its not high quality. We're talking C-movie level here so this is to be expected. The few special effects were unexpectedly good. What I especially loved about Molly were the realistic (and thus very messy) fights.

We're not about to win Oscars here but given what the makers had to work with I am quite impressed. I am wondering how Brits and Americans will copy with Dutch-accented English. I have no idea what they will make of it.

If you like Mad Max movies or Turbo Kid you will enjoy this.
