Bitch

For a low budget indie film, it's not terrible.

It looks nice, considering its budget.

What is readily apparent, is that it's trying to be different just to be different.

It is bizarre, but not in an interesting way.

The pacing is not exactly great, and the writing seems random.

Written , directed and produced by Palka and starring her boyfriend Jason Ritter and I think she over-reached herself.

Could have been interesting but was just one long borefest. Sure we can all appreciate the theme but it wasnt enough to carry a movie - Maybe a 15 minute short but not a movie.

Music was awful. Dialogue pitiful. Acting was ok! Full of feminist tropes and cliches. I did like the Video / poster but that is about it! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS!!!

There are worse films like "THE BAD BATCH" with Keanu Reeves so it hasnt attained the unholy p1sspot of god awful movie making that that disaster has!

Came across this on Netflix and thought the premise looked interesting. Actually thought it was going to be a cheesy horror flick, but was glad it turned out to be something totally unexpected. The acting, especially Ritter's is superb. Some of the dialog had me cracking up, which I think was intentional. Such an unbelievable premise was handled very realistically. There were some very touching moments in the film as well, and all of the characters had some degree of likability. Would definitely recommend for those who like the occasional offbeat film. I also felt the ending was appropriate, though folks who like things made more obvious might not.

A really interesting concept, but not made exceptionally well. It seems a bit long, and doesn't really look at real case, affect and solution/outcome, so it all feels a bit pointless. Kind of funny in bits, but I wouldn't put comedy as its genre. The female lead acted really well, but other cast members were lacking a bit.

I liked Bitch because the story unfolds from such a simple premise: When it all gets too much for a mother of four, she takes herself out of the equation. We don't know whether she is making a conscious choice or suffering from a rare disease of the mind. All we know is that her workaholic husband now has to do without her. It doesn't go well, at least not initially. Bitch is not the world's deepest movie, but it's an entertaining lesson about the effort it takes to keep a family together.
