This one is tough. This one is messy. But it is made by a group of people of such courage and passion that is rarely seen today. Calling it uncompromising would be an understatment. Radical? Closer; this is the one which will take everything from you - if you let it - or won't gi...( read more)
This film is very hard to watch but it is a very well made and it allows us into the world of a woman fighting with pain. It seems we're much more in dept at causing and prolonging each others pain than anything else.
In this film, Maria Bello plays a victim of childhood abuse...( read more)
Ok, the girl meets a guy online, she wants him to kill her but the online man falls in love with her instead......
very twisted! This movie is very slow & feels like it should be on the Lifetime Tv channel network. If you like dark dramas or any of the stars then give this a try...( read more)
First of all, this film is by no means a feel good, popcorn popping piece of cinema. It's a rather dark, disturbing tale shot in quite dismal premises to tell a story that is real, but not one people want to hear.

Exceptional cast, very dark and twisty but not necessarily in a bad way. The acting most definitely make this movie great.

I can't help but notice that the critics reviews on here have kind of seemed to miss the point that the flixter reviewers are odviously better at getting: this is a movie about a woman who wants someone she doesn't know to mame and kill her!!! Nothing anyone could say about how boring and pointless this movie was is going to drive me away from seeing it. The fact that it has graphic violence also tells me that it is balls to the wall instead of playing it safe.
