This, right here is how you know that you have great actors in front of you; I've been taken on a rollercoaster of emotions... many of which I've felt frequently. Some I've only felt a couple of times.
The pain of wanting something to work with an unwilling participant.
What happened here is a sign of the times: women miss their freedom and will make hasty, wreckless decisions to taste that freedom, even if it means regretting that decision later on.
Goddamn, this is sad!
You're placed right there with them as they deal with the ramifications of an incredibly self-absorbed relatives shortsighted, self-gratifying, impulsive decision, that causes so much hurt and pain.
You feel every ounce of that weight.
Then you observe what happens when sadness, need and desperation enable a wolf to be let into a civilised, albeit broken family unit.
Desperation doesn't yield anything worthwhile, ever!
Marie is a colossal mess. Greg is a spineless weakling. Sickening!!
I absolutely LOVE Paula Malcomson. I find her so sexy and pleasant. She's a very consistent actress.
Such a small, low-budget endeavour took a couple of masters of their craft to sell it cohesively. They did just that.
A tip of the hat to all involved in this powerful, low-budget family drama done to perfection.
Outstanding! 9-stars!
