Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSara Malakul Lane said she did a lot of stuff pretty much for real during filming. "I had a lot of cuts on my wrists from one scene and I genuinely was gagging for another scene because you are really in it and I think it's important just to go all out. The audience will really get the experience if you are really feeling it. There was no safety or anything, we just kind of went for it. After the third or fourth take it becomes really tiring on the body and you think, 'Oh shit, what did I get myself into?'" But Lane said the most uncomfortable scene was the sex one with William Nicol. "Usually when you're doing these sex scenes or rape scenes, there's 6 or 7 crew members in the room. With this scene because they were filming it through the window, it was just me and the other actor in the room doing a sex scene essentially. That was uncomfortable."
Featured review
For me at least, this film is a masterpiece of extreme character study and psych intrigue extracted from a very minimal budget, but parlayed into a brilliantly visual and emotional experience.
It would be redundant to replicate the detailed description that has been more than aptly articulated by previous reviewers, so I'll simply limit my commentary to a general sense of quality of experience, and in that context, this production deserves high marks.
Yes, some of the editing can seem to be a bit jagged, like a puzzle who's pieces snap into place at quasi random moments, but still leave enough holes to require a fair amount of contemplation for the viewer to complete the intended picture.
But that's part of the beauty of this production, in that it absolutely pulls you in, requiring an attention to detail without becoming a tedious exercise for comprehension.
Sarah Hagan matches her character as Janie perfectly. If anything, she makes the experience uniquely hers, as it would be difficult to imagine anyone else being able to capture the essence of Janie with such depth and precision.
The content itself is disturbing, make no doubt about that.
This film is certainly not for everyone. But for those who can appreciate this genre of story and character study, it's a superb expression of the artform.
