Losing Chase - spoiler alert
This movie captivates you from the very beginning. You can almost feel Mirren's condition and are pulled into it. I was asking myself why Sedgwick would want to take on such a challenging task of taking care of a woman in her condition when she had already had to deal with it in her own family. However, the movie gelled for me when she faced off with Mirren in the pouring rain in such a tormented state trying to find answers to her past. This not only was a healing moment for Elizabeth, but a turning point for Chase as well. This movie showed the depth of a woman who went along and played by all the rules, until it proved too much. I was a little sad at the end when Chase's husband left and found another woman, yet Elizabeth did not stay. But the title does sort of give it away. You felt good though, knowing she had a new direction in life and a better understanding of herself.
