Disturbing, but well done. Whats up with that line.....?
I was surprised with some of the content of this movie. It was pretty damn heavy, but still very well written, and acted. The lighting in many scenes seemed to compliment the "feel" of this movie very well. I don't want to call it depressing, but I can't think of a better term. I wonder if some of the outdoor scenes where done with natural lighting, mainly because of the blueish tint that occurs (like when the daughter is leaving for Arizona, or being forced to use her hand on her father, etc). Does anybody know about how they filmed these scenes?
The only thing i wondered about is if a woman would ever really utter the line "sometimes being a bitch is all a woman has to hold on to.." That's such a Stephen King-kinda line, but would it exist outside his universe? Ladies, can you identify with this concept? I guess knowing that it was mostly likely a product of the mind of S.King, i had a little trouble swallowing it. Other than that, this movie was painfully realistic to the point of almost being hard to watch.
