It is a movie that on the backdrop of a seemingly banal and predictable story, depicts contradictory ideas, almost surrealist frames and very expressive characters. It is the seal of Carlo Fusco, I guess. And.. funny as well :)

This movie will conquer the viewer because of its realism, and how it builds up to tension and mystery. It is worth seeing this feature for the paced story, realistic drama, good tale, and for the careful direction. By the end of the movie the audience is shocked because of the non predictable end, but satisfied that they saw a worthy realistic story which can really happen to anyone. You can also notice that is a independent movie, with few characters, maybe it has been shoot in Kentucky or something. The photography is not great, in my opinion is a little bit too dark, but it was OK, anyway. Very good cast and even if protagonists are not famous as Bruce Davison, Daryl Hannah and Tom Sizemore, they did well, especially the female which really had a very strong impact on the public for her performance. She had to deal with a mute role and she resulted very credible. There where moments when she broke my heart. Maybe I would have chosen for another type of husband, talking about the actor in the lead male role. I didn't feel pity for him as I supposed to do, anyway. I don't know which was the budget of this film, the scenic design lacks a little bit but is a very good harmony, anyway. I have recently seen the last movie of this director, Carlo Fusco and I think that he is getting really better with this movie, he combined arts with commercial.

The signature of Carlo Fusco in this film is proof that the director has a distant vision as the great names of American cinema and at the same time led me in a plot that at a certain point I exclaimed: WOW .... I thought of see a trivial story that told a trivial script, instead both writing and directing materialized a film of a certain level and that you enter in every moment of the film itself. Ieva Lykos, in the character of Ester, interpreted a very difficult part and did so with such a realistic interpretation that the commotion took over. The rest of the cast, which has been played by actors of international renown, also made an important contribution, as much as to enrich the entire outline of the film. The scenography, the costumes and the photography are adapted to the context that has been told. It's a film to watch absolutely .... I'll see it again

I've seen this movie twice, I loved it. Excellent work of the director who manages to present a story of troubled minds in a masterly way. One of those films that deserves much more success !!

A truly beautiful film, it deals with mental illness in all its aspects. the ending displaces you.
