Lot of potential here but as someone who lived through A LOT of domestic violence situations, watching Hollywood make it artsy so mainstream audiences can "handle it" to me really misses the mark of helping people understand what it feels like. I really enjoyed what this film tried to do but do not feel like it translated well to the big screen. Sure they were attempting to show gaslighting and whatnot, but I think you, the audience should have felt more powerful emotional response to what you were witnessing. I think we needed to hear more of the pain vs the silent flashbacks. Perhaps this could of been a part 1 and part 2 where in part 1 we stay in lillys high school years and learn more about her unstable home life and get a chance to bond with the character. Just wanted more than the film gave. At least it's creating an important narrative that isn't option talked about. Its a start...
Don't take it too seriously and you'll really enjoy it..the movie is about a pianist that gets into a car crash and it seriously injured his hands and they are so injured that the doctor has to amputate his hands and replace them with those of a stranger!!!!! Lol..if you want a fun drinking, I'd recommend drinking every time they say hands. You will get so so so drunk. It was enjoyable and very dramatic and it's not supposed to be funny but it was. It was fun to watch and I enjoy the dramatic music and dialog. I thought the acting was a bit overdone but that's okay because it's appropriate for the time.
