The thing I don't get is these women have money; surely they could afford higher quality results. However Boyle's lips are not the only problem in this good-but-should-have-been-better adaptation of a really scary novel: for a start, I find her miscast although to be fair, Anne Rivers Siddons never gave a detailed physical description of Colquitt except to note that she had a good enough figure to look good in skin-tight jeans. Boyle just was not what I pictured when I read the book.
Her performance doesn't help matters either. She underplays almost to the point of appearing comatose for a good half of the picture, though at one point when she is sitting at her easel sort of staring off into space I had the impression that we the audience were supposed to take it as the effect the house was having on her. Hard to say, but she starts off so low-energy that there's pretty much nowhere to take the character.
Never mess with a middle-aged, Bipolar queen with AIDS and an attitude problem!
