Queen of Earth ripoff
Well, Ripoff is A harsh word I guess, but it's definitely heavily borrowed from.. That said, I felt Always Shine was A better made film, and if I didn't see Queen of Earth, I would've enjoyed it more..

shareAgreed. Always Shines is much better and does not have excruciating verbal discourses to illustrate toxic relationships.
shareQ.O.E did have some pretty painful dialogue to sift thru, you're right..
shareI just saw Queen of Earth upon your recommendation, trombleykyle, and there were definite parallels between both films.
Both sets of characters had similar dynamics in their relationships and the tension between them was palpable. Q.O.E. had more of an ambiguous ending than Always Shine. Both movies stay in your head, but I'd have to say I enjoyed Alway Shine more.

Yeah, I kinda liked the ending of queen of Earth a little better, tbh.. I'm a fan of ambiguity though, so I know not everyone will agree..
shareIt's only in the start of film. Mainly because two female characters and setting. Thematically Always Shine and Queen Of Earth are different. Always Shine more like kinda Mulholland drive and in final act Altman's 3 Women.
shareAt least Queen of Earth is a good film compared to this crap. Knew the outcome 15 minutes in and it was never any suspense or excitment. Boring pos.
