VickiL-79

Good title. Music/soundtrack engaging. Premise, recognizable. Execution - complete let down.

Although the actors do very well with the script, it is indeed the script that lets everyone down. I do not mind open ended films when a theme points to a couple different conclusions, but there really is no theme other than what is suggested in the title.

The story pretends to be leading you into a descent into madness, and yet, on what foundation does the main character's madness hinge? Suggestive with no real follow through is not a story, and does not follow even the classic storytelling model. There was a chance 3/4 through the film to open up to some real possibilities, but every time the story got to that point, the director changed scene, leaving the audience stuck with nothing.

I gave this 3 stars for the actors ability to make their scenes engaging, and the music. The writing failed (and I taught writing for 20 years), and the direction was down a path to nowhere.
