bannay-2-836886 I mean Katie Holmes was brilliant in this! I'm not a Katie Holmes fan per se but she exemplified Mary Meadows and personified managed mental illness, contradicting moral compass, compassion and honesty. The first opening scene was so refreshingly surprising and funny I couldn't help but watch glued with increasing intrigue. Man, you want to root for her and the calamity that is her crazy yet calm life is dark and optimistic at the same time. I felt a bit out of sorts watching it... and I loved that! Man I thoroughly enjoyed this film and Katie you were so amazing not one actress I can think of would've done a better job!

fearandloathing-51843 Let me start by saying this: Katie Holmes shined in this film. Her acting performance was really well done. The whole talking to her mother on the phone in a few scenes really added the whole effect to who she is, what she might of been through and that she might be crazy. Her mother is dead, so she wasn't really talking to her mom, it's her way of expressing her feelings. Her one sentence did make me think allot, aren't we supposed to forgive these people? Her "mother" replied with some things just are unforgivable. She killed people who were sick not that it was her choice to make but sometimes I wish I could go kill all those sick people who abuse and abuse. She never gave herself away. It could of been longer, or they should make a squeal. I liked the darkness in this movie, also it kept me entertained and interested. Katie Holmes is truly a beautiful actress who had a break through in my opinion because she has never really been in good films except for this one.

Guy Teague i've never reviewed a movie on IMDb before. i review them on my facebook page when i feel the urge, but i'm supremely unqualified to do so. although what the qualifications would be, i don't exactly know.first, let me say that black comedy is a category which seems to impact me and stick to me longer than nearly any other genre. and i'm a sucker for the unreliable narrator as well and they usually go hand-in-hand.when i say this movie was brilliant, i have no proof of it, no one single detail which would qualify it, but i do know it held me enthralled from beginning to end. and yes, there were a couple of rough patches where i thought the script sort of wandered off track, but then, i didn't write it, so it might well have been exactly what they intended and that one scene or two or an exchange of dialogue just didn't resonate with me.i completely understand this genre is not for everyone and the comedy goes right over the heads of many people--too many things seem to do so these days.i apologize for the wandering 'review', but i just think it deserves 2-3 stars more than the IMDb is showing as the average. don't let the slightly low rating keep you from watching it./guy

pakdoc Miss Meadows defines the limits of her reality early then reveals throughout how she actively avoids being a victim as passive life events expose themselves. From the emotions reflected in her sock choices to tireless maintenance of white garments, the frutility of living in the walls Miss Meadows' confines herself within, she interacts in society through locked doors and open windows. I was uncomfortable with the anti-Catholiic scenes as most know Katie Holmes' past Scientology affiliation makes you wonder if there is a specific agenda being propagated. This is a movie to watch on a quiet morning, without too many expectations.
