Oublier et pardonner

I found this movie so-so. Good performances from Neil Napier and Tygh Runyan. Both had some terrific moments and played them well. I especially liked Vivien Douglas as the daughter. Her mother over-played by Elizabeth Rohm evidently was not a good mother before she obtained amnesia from a beating and left for dead.

Most of the film is her trying to get back her memory. Along the way she is a pain in the butt. Prying into everybody's past, without any regrets. She continues to alienate her daughter by her cold behavior. I did not find any compassion in all that she hurt along the way and was hoping she'd disappear.

It also bothers me that in most LMN films our poor dear heroine gathers strength by kicking the men in the groin. Next step they take out their cell phones. Almost always the direction in all these lady films. Has anyone bothered to kick a female in the groin? Would be interesting. No such luck in this mess.
