Too bad this movie is full of designer fashion and privilege only the top 1% of the population on earth have any experience with!
The movie dealt with PTSD experienced through the eyes of Mila Kunis character who had been gang raped and shamed since high school. On top of all this soon after being raped and shamed her friend goes on a shooting rampage in their high school and kills several of her classmates. She witnesses the brutal killings and in turn stops her friend from killing anymore people by stabbing him to death with a knife.
Fast forward 15 years later and the trauma punches her in the gut right before her planned marriage to Mr. Rich guy of her dreams.
I think many movies have handled this issue with great respect; just to name a few: The Deerhunter; Homecoming; Born on the Fourth of July; American Sniper. Many of these movies have to do with war and how it devastates those who survive war.
There are not many movies about women and post traumatic stress syndrome. I thought this movie was tolerable, but it angered me. I thought all the bells and whistles of watching how the upper crust of society decorated their homes, the fashions they wore and the housing they lived in was distracting and unnecessary. I think it took away from the gut punch the movie should have had.
I am looking forward to more movies which handle the topic of PTSD. And I also hope that writers of these stories will tell women's stories more often than not.
