Helen and Joy?
5 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Bizarre. Bad. I felt that until the last 7 minutes, that Joy and Helen were the same person. I thought Joy/Helen had multiple personality disorder. I think the directors wanted me to think that. It turns out not to be so, but I can't get over the idea that the directors intentionally fooled me into thinking it. It needs more. It felt cut off without closure. The "re-enactment" was never completed. Who ever heard of re-enacting a crime to be filmed anyway? The only time I have heard of that is for a show like Unsolved Mysteries. I have never heard of it happening within the first days of a missing persons investigation. Maybe they conduct police investigations differently in the UK/Ireland than in the U. S. This film is not for a person who didn't get sufficient sleep the night before. It will put you to sleep rather than intrigue you! Or, if it does intrigue you, you will be left with unanswered questions and wondering why you just wasted an hour and twenty minutes of your time.
