More thoughts – Massive Spoilers
If it all were just a dream, that would be a sensible way to avoid all the nitty-gritties of reality. How does Helena look when she wakes up and her hair hasn’t been done perfectly. Is she still attractive to Nick when he’s helping her take a shit – assuming he’s not into shit.
There’s a nice detail of Helena’s head propped up by a pillow. But in Nick’s world, the visual perfection of a limbless Helena surrounded by beautiful flowers would most likely be offset by such seemingly minor, nodding realities.
Pretty good!Thank you Eum.
This movie was pretty bad. Hopefully, she improved as a filmmaker.
She did. Check out Chained and, Security.
or is it Surveillance?
Surveillance! I haven’t seen it yet but agree that Chained was good.
She was pretty young when she wrote the movie, so it’s no surprise that it didn’t turn out so well.
She has a nice growler.
never trust the british
