Very well done and acted, but...


I found Eva Mattes hard to look at. I'm no Brad Pitt, but she had so many close-ups and i found her very... well, you know... Homely, i guess. (I'm trying to be nice here..)

Regardless, i give it a B+.

P.S.

Did she really live at the end or was the ending symbolic and she actually commited suicide?

reply

After or before her face was paralyzed I know what you mean, though: you expect her to be lovely, and in certain shots she approximates it...but then she is jarringly ugly

They did a great job of making her uglier as the film went on.
