The missing A word


It's amazing that neither the film nor the IMDb reviews and messages in any way indicate that this is a movie about an alcoholic. What is an "allergy" to alcohol if not alcoholism. Seen from that perspective, this is "Barfly" with a laugh track. Kinda puts a damper on all the hillarity.

Um I don't think she was an alco she didn't keep downing the drinks. She only has like a few glasses of champers in the whole movie. A true alcho would have kept drinking the whole time (eg Arthur or Barfly)

I think you better work on your definition of alcoholic.

You can have an "allergy" to alcohol. I don't drink at all because when I do, even one drink, and I am light headed and feel like I am going to pass out. I have a no tolerance for alcohol and I have never had more than one drink about fifteen years ago. Some people just are not wired to tolerate alcohol this doesn't make them an alcoholic.

I ever once looked at the film from that perspective. Why so gloomy? It was a light romantic comedy with some fine actors, a fun 90 minutes.

Nadia wasn't an alcoholic, booze just made her act crazy. It happens. A lot.
