Joyce Chandler (Trish Goff) is a successful newspaper copy editor that is still mourning the recent split from her husband when she moves into her swank Manhattan apartment building. Soon after, she begins to get annoyed with her upstairs neighbor Charlotte Bancroft's (Ally Sheedy) constant blaring of music and general stomping around. Despite repeated requests to soften the noise, the disturbances continue, and Joyce finds her grasp on reality threatened as she sinks deeper into insomnia and addiction. At her wits end, she pulls a desperate prank on Charlotte that leads to dire consequences for both of them. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Tony Whitt, Now Playing Magazine
From start to finish, Trish Goff gives the most listless performance imaginable.
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
For those who understand the value of Peace and Quiet, the film should hit a raw nerve.

This one was a weird one, I don't know exactly how to describe it. It turns out this really skinny divorced woman moves into a small aparment building in New York where the upstairs neighbor is... uh... creepy would be the appropiate verb. Then I forget what happens and suddenly she woman just can't get ear muffs to sleep at night so she tries to get back at her neighbor and then her neighbor gets back at her and then the woman turns into an alcoholic. Or she was already an alcoholic and then she goes back to it. And there's also these weird divorced women's support group who don't really support each other. Like I said. Weird one. I suppose higher minded individuals would find this intriguing.
