Violet

I saw this without reading on the plot-line or anything, for me it was an exploration. I let go and allowed the director take the helm.

Finally after watching it, I can say it was disturbing and relatable enough. It may indeed be boring and a tough watch for someone on the wagon but if you're just adrift on a raft, you can give time and understand. Sound and visuals really gelled together to convey the eruptions/disturbances in thought.

For me it was a cathartic journey which with progress in time presented hope. Acting, Directing, minor bits and pieces all of them came well together.

I think this film sends an important message for some people. People that have been mentally abused and broken down and pushed around in their life need to watch this movie. This is how you move forward. Never let people break you down. I like this movie.

I have to say after seeing it was written and directed by Justine Bateman I had to check out the flick. Big fan of younger brother Jason and always admired Justine, I knew I would not be disappointed. To me this was indicative of her early success and probably not living up to a more stellar career put pen to paper and great direction came up with this gem of a movie. Doubt, fear, anxiety, second guessing, childhood abuse, abandonment, neglect, and all the things associated with not feeling worthy enough is all shown here. Great cast of characters along with the entire back story made it all interesting. Kudos to Ms. Bateman...

This is the first film I've seen that has shown so clearly, the mental anguish of anxiety condition & post childhood abuse and/or neglect. Did a great job of showing visually how that feels & how it affects daily life - so well done! Good tips to deal with and/or overcome it too, thank you.

The opening off Violet, shrinking Violet, made me cringe with a less than appealing voice over on top of the dialog but in the end it all worked and the movie is unique and very well produced and presented.

Yes it has the Indie feel probably on purpose. Wait around for th end credits and meet the crew.

It is a tale of how a young but damaged young woman found her empowerment and mojo against herself and an internal sea of self doubt and self sabotage, all while living a rather ordinary eistence.

The ARTY stuff really set the scene and worked well to highlight the various realities that were inhabiting the same space as our younf heroine picked herself up and refused to be a doormat.

Yes its an Indie, yes it's a bit Hollywood ad cheesy at times. That's what makes it work.

Go see it and you WILL be moved.
