Review of Nevada

Amy B portrays the burnt out housewife and mother perfectly. The movie leads us in several directions all at once; hinting at much and tantalizing with even more. We don't know for some time what Chrysty is running from or where "little Kimmy" really is. What we see is an angst ridden woman that is in extreme pain finding her true self among other women with their own inner demons. McGill lost a child. Linny is losing her husband. June has a baby but not by the husband she adores. Ruth and Ruby, the town lesbians, seem to be the only totally happy people in town and their love and friendship does much for everyone involved. Chrysty came to Silver believing she was stupid and inept but the strong women in this town help her discover how to stand on her own two feet and how to face her past and embrace her future. I loved this movie and am looking forward to purchasing it for my collection.
