This movie obviously doesn't have much publicity, but I'm a fan of Melanie Lynskey, and it's good for her to finally have a lead role after too many side roles.
Here's an article I found about her and this film.

It's like being inside a dream or something.. There's truth, but no logic.
I've been a fan of hers for YEARS, and I hope she starts breaking into more lead roles.
Her reaction in the last shot of the trailer ("Somebody's mom is here..."- "No...No...") kills me.
"Falling feels like flying... until you hit the ground."-Tom McRae
That line killed me too. Come on. She's like what? Late 30's maybe. Kids these days.

^ Nice little Q&A chat with her linked via here, about HELLO I MUST BE GOING, her embrace of Twitter, her iPod playlist use for movie roles, and more!

I love her! I watched this because I was surfing on demand and had nothing to watch..I had just saw her in Touchback a couple months ago, and that reminded me of what a great actress she is since Heavenly Creatures. I was really touched by her performance in this, along with Blythe..I was never married but lived with someone for years, and was dumped like her character..and I went through pretty much what she did in this. I, like her, had to head home to my family in my home state, and realized I was never happy in that previous relationship shortly afterwards..and this really hit home and I felt really similar to her character and what she went through..Kudos to Melanie, I hope she gets a lot more roles because she is absolutely fantastic. :)
shareShe was amazing right out of the box in Heavenly Creatures. So glad to see her in a leading film role.
Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!
