Frightening...and true

Rating: 9/10 (13 August 2007)

I'm happy for all those who saw the movie and did not recognize the characters, their problems and their "insane" way of dealing with them as coming from the real world. You live like angels. This film summed up beautifully everything sad and nasty and ugly and painful that I have ever encountered in my relationships and those whom I know, very real people. Lies, deceit, sleaziness, addiction, clinging to somebody who doesn't want you anymore, doing despicable things to get that somebody back in your life, acting on lust, shame, guilt, hurting and being hurt - best by those you love the most, I have seen them all. Just not all at the same time, condensed in two hours and played by four charismatic actors. It was frightening and well...did not cheer me up (to use a euphemism). And here comes the spoiler: At the end my soul felt sick, as grand as it may sound. The only healing line was Alice's "I don't love you anymore". And that just makes you even sadder.
