Whatever

Rating: 3/10 (15 January 2005)

In order for me to enjoy a character based film like this I must have some reason to like the characters.
I loved Harvey Keitel, Anna Paquin, Sam Neill but even though I normally really like Holly Hunter and her acting was good, what is there to possibly like about her character. She is a self absorbed jerk who acts like a spoiled little slut (I hate that word but it is appropriate for description). The way she treated Sam Neill was deplorable. She even tries to kill herself at the end and leave her daughter an orphan. I was hoping everyone would get as fed up with her crap as I did and leave her in the woods! Then we wouldn't get to see anymore of her selfish tantrums. Why is it that we as men are suppose to fall for any woman in any movie as long as she is not half bad looking. No matter how badly women treat men, they get away with anything and men are portrayed as buffoons that are to just put up with it. I haven't noticed who wrote this but it must have been some man hating feminist. Just checked and it was a woman...surprise surprise.
