Different

Yes, it was different, because it was true to life, it was as if you were following around real live people.

I loved the raw depiction of the medicaid/welfare system, when Zelda had to go through the seminar and sit with the group of people, it was so real. The woman who couldn't speak English, the disinterested clean-cut young man who looked like he didn't belong there, the welfare worker with the attitude problem. I've been in that situation, and that's exactly what happens, that's exactly how everyone is. Bored, tired, alienated, poor, needy, disinterested.

Zelda's lifestyle was so real, it was depressing to watch. That's what really happens at parties, that's how you live when you're poor, that's what drugs do to you, that's what really goes on in relationships, that's how babies really are.

That's the type of conversations you have with friends when you're poor, that's how you spend your time when you're poor, there's a prevasive malaise and depression that sets in and can never be removed, it's there for life.

When she walked through the red billowing curtains, very cinematic, very powerful, and intensely symbolic. When she started laughing hysterically about men liking big breasts and the man she was talking to was drinking milk, very sad, just awful, awful.

Phenomenal acting by the lead actress.

I'm not sure if I liked it, but there was something that kept me interested. It wasn't a bore, but I don't know how I feel about it.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
