Another review of mine that mysteriously vanished. Should I suspect the presence of the Evil One? Most likely a priggish computer program. But what could I have said that offended the artifically intelligent arbiter of human acceptability?
Never mind. Try again.
An interesting idea, this movie, with a standout performance by Mimi Rogers (the little girl who plays her daughter impresses also). A bored telephone operator with a lascivious nightlife decides to change her ways when she becomes convinced the end is nigh. Her decisions ultimately lead to tragedy.
This was a low budget movie and consequently it can't manage much by way of special effects. I'm sure Roger Ebert, in his review, said that we get to see Heaven. I sure didn't see anything. Ultimately, as with the writer's later film, The New Age, the ending is a tiny bit of a letdown. Rogers' character ends on a note of sullen petulance, nothing to compare with the heroic defiance of a Don Giovanni or a Manfred, or in that movie Quills, the Marquis de Sade. But it's a fine performance up till the final scene, one well worth checking out for anyone wanting to appreciate a formidable adult female taking her destiny in her hands. All the men are side characters in this movie, something that I'm sure will appeal to a certain portion of the viewing public.
Early David Duchovny movie.
