This film has so much potential...it looks great...it sounds great...but it just goes nowhere. Every few minutes we're introduced to new and interesting characters, all with their own story to tell...but they all fizzle away to nothing.
This was like watching the first part of a 3-part movie...I WANT CLOSURE!

Watts is one of the best actors of the last 20 years. Without her, this movie would have been a disaster. Watch it, just for her performance alone.
I dont understand this great movie gets all this bad reviews.
All i can say is
Acting is great
Cinematography is good
Script is good
Its not too long
Music and editing is good
Actually everything is pretty good and sometimes great so how anybody can give this movie less than average is a mystery or just plain trolling.
Feel bad for the director that made a great job with obviously a pretty low mainstream budget
Naomi Watts is a fabulous actress but this movie is pure dreck! It starts out slow and ends up with nothing being of interest. Weak lead character, complete waste of time!!
This film is an odd bird. It's set in NYC in 1977 and Naomi Watts plays a woman who is terrified to leave her apartment which is located in a rundown Bronx ghetto. You gradually learn her story in her interactions during visits by the few outsiders she allows into her life as she hovers near a mental breakdown. It's more a play than a film. No violence and a relatively positive ending.
You probably need to have lived through the 70s to appreciate it. But I liked it a lot.
It has its flaws, the title being the most significant. Not sure what they were thinking. But it in no way deserves all the snarky 1 and 2 numeric ratings. IMDB please! drop the numeric rating and make people justify their gripes. A plus or minus for those too lazy to write something would be sufficient.
