shakercoola There is an intriguing ambiguity to the stranger who rolls into Austin, Texas, claiming to be the daughter of a deceased country singer and inheriting some of her father's talent. The pent-up anger, pain and defiance bubbles below the surface but never froths into action which is its strength, and the viewer will begin to have a little empathy with the young woman as she tries to establish a connection to her new, foreign family keeping her at arms length. On the plus side we are only once given proper verbal conflict between the two leads - no manipulative or simplistic resolutions. However, the engrossing and edgy drama somehow fails to produce a vice like grip on the viewer by the end for instead we get a graphic act where the viewer is more of an observer at the scene of a despicable crime rather than of one in crystallized understanding of the precise motive. Still, it is a smart, tense movie with two good performances which make it work...just.
TheDailyMovies This got listed as "Horror" on Amazon, it's not even a thriller. The movie is terrible...When it's over all you say is "I WASTED 1 HR AND 40 MINUTES ON NOTHING" Since NOTHING in this movie happens....
jerryadlington The acting was good as was the camera work. The directing was also good. The film while very professional was very weird. It failed to capture excitement and frankly, it could have been switched off at any time. It appears to have been written by someone with a sick distorted mind. If you do weird sick, this is a film fore you.
pedrokolari Definitely well done drama on sisterhood, family jealousy, subdued violence. Worth watching and plenty of cinematographic values. Have one question which is not really a spoiler because it has to do with the first few seconds: What is with appears to be a possibly lifeless woman's naked body lying face down on a bed which the protagonist is packing? Certainly appreciate any answer that anybody can provide.
