First Impressions?


It's my day off and as usual, I'm unable to sleep in. I arise early. The sun is shining. I'm thinking of maybe going mushroom hunting later in the day. Enjoy nature, breathe in the fresh air.

It's too early for all that so I turn to my DVR for a movie. I settle on "The Match Factory Girl". I had seen "Ariel" and I was looking forward to this one.

I've just finished it and now I know that there will be no outing this afternoon. I shall crawl back in bed and draw the covers over my head for all hope is lost.

My first impression was how in the world could TCM list this as a comedy/drama.

It was perhaps the most depressing movie I've seen. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, in a strange, dark way. The hopelessness really hits you over the head as the young lady in the movie had a horrible existence.
