Violet

Many people suffer from severe anxiety disorders and schizophrenia as well. Many of the scenes were like memories in my own life, feeling insecure and having continuous self talk in your brain. It can be debilitating. Even with medication. I'm a Vice President of a company but I still struggle sometimes. This character that Olivia Munn played FABULOUSLY is a groundbreaking one in a small limited release film. If you DON'T understand this movie, try to imagine what this must be like for someone. It's a real challenge. Cheers to Olivia Munn for her brave and authentic performance. Violet is a character that I will remember.

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.

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 went into this movie knowing very little about it. That being said this was NOT a movie for me or one I myself would choose to see. By minute 24 of this movie I was already wondering why I had even started watching this. Poor Violet was all I kept thinking. I thought the lead was incredible and I loved her acting in this movie. It felt like the movie just stopped at the end and nothing was really explained or resolved. It was like you had a front row seat into someone's mind but the outcome left you unsatisfied. Maybe this is someone else's cup of tea, just not mine.
