She's always awesome and HOT, HOT, HOT!!!
I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!
Loved it. Uma kind of stole the show.
shareShe was great. I didn't even recognise her for the first 5 minutes before the realisation hit me!
shareDitto to everyone's comments - I also didn't realize it was her at first, but she TURNED. IT. OUT and stole the crap out of her scene, so good!!!
shareCompletely agree, it was a very powerful scene, yet funny, too.
shareIndeed! She was perhaps the best part. I adore her. For a while I actually forgot that she was in the movie...and was thinking that it was someone who looked like her...it was certainly a different type of part for her, but she played it masterfully once again.
She tends to be a sadly overlooked actress, for whatever reason. She hasn't gotten a whole lot of other really great or meaty roles--with the obvious exception of Beatrix Kiddo--to show off the full extent of her talents.
Her scenes were totally convincing.
The idea of a wife/mother reacting that way to an unfaithful husband should strike fear into the hearts and minds of potential philanderers.
Brilliantly written, acted and shot!
Kudos...
INDEED!!
shareThe idea of a MOTHER reacting that was is horrific. That is the most selfish thing a mother could do; plopping their kids in the middle of all that drama. So selfish and pathological, it was funny almost, how sickeningly selfish and pathological her character was, no wonder the husband cheated on her crazy ass..
shareIt wasn't just the cheating. Dad walked out on the kids too, dumped their whole lives judging by the ages of the boys. All to feed his sex drive and free himself from the life he agreed to then decided that maybe something else would be more rewarding. Mrs. H is angry and devastated beyond caring what anyone thinks of her, to the point of making sure the boys are properly devastated as well by their father's choice. Joe is fascinated, bored and proves that what she said in the beginning is true: She does not care how her behavior affects anyone. Joe makes it clear that this is their family drama. She says flat out to the boys that she doesn't love the boys' father. She isn't doing anything to the family no matter how Mrs H explains it to them, which may be more helpful to their understanding in the long run than their mother blaming the evil woman. It isn't a flattering portrayal of women or men or the value of the family but it rings plausible. A lesser actress would have been a mud puddle in this role and not a deliciously horrifying mud puddle.
shareUma stole the whole film with that one short scene. The controlled rage (mostly) and total shaming of H and Joe was amazing.
As a follow on (spoiler) - just after that scene Steligman asks older Joe "So how did this episode effect your life" and she answers "Not at all - No - You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs".
Right then I hated Joe completely.

And Uma pulled the whole thing off beautifully! You probably wouldn't have felt so repulsed by the mother's actions if Uma hadn't done such a superb job of it! :D Like many others, I didn't even know it was her!! To be frank, I didn't realize it was her until the end credits and was blown away!
I totally agree with you...imagine if that had been real? "would you mind if I show the children the whoring bed?" Wow! I realize a woman scorned can be a highly treacherous force to contend with but she blew it out of the park! That was bat**** crazy! Lol!
