17. "An unflinching, unpleasant, and bittersweet mini-masterpiece" In response to In response to 0 Mon Feb-14-11 11:29 PM by Sponge
It's right there with Scenes of a Marriage and A Woman Under the Influence. I really don't know what to say. The film made me queasy and happy but absolutely not in equal measure. What made me feel sick: the fear of not knowing when to call it quits (Dean's line about Cindy's promise in the wedding vow shook me up), wondering would I be able to know when faith and hope are destructive or blinding, etc. This film tapped into shit that worries me about relationships. Things change, things end...scary shit. Don't know when I can muster up energy to watch it again.
The scene about potential in The Future Room is probably my favorite scene in 2010 movies.
I urge people to check out another fearless Michelle Williams performance in Incendiary (not a good movie though) and her comic talent in The Baxter.
