LeonLouisRicci This Movie is about the Suffering of an Abused Child that Grows-Up Dazed and Confused. The Film also Suffers from Inattention on all Levels. Never Released, Ignored by Critics, and Misunderstood as a Horror-Show.Cillian Murphy in a Dual Role is Remarkable. A Good Supporting Cast lend Gravitas to the Proceedings. It is Underwritten, Underplayed, and Under-Appreciated as a Character Study. A Subtle Psychological Study of a Disturbed Individual whose Sequestered Mundane Life is Controlled by Two Competing Personalities.His Existence as a Dual Personality is Completely Unknown to the Small-Town-Folks in 1950's Rural America. Than His Life becomes Literally a Trainwreck and Things Spiral Out of Control. The Movie has many Strengths with an Ending that People Find Weak. Not So.Overall, it's Different, Quirky, On the Edge, and Brilliantly Handled. But in Doing so the Unassuming, Laid-Back Style of the Presentation Alienated Everyone from the Producers to the Viewing Audience. It's an Unforgettable Film that will Find a Cult Following and will be Applauded and Appreciated as Word Gets Out.

samdavidson192 What a waste of talented actors. I'd probably only watch this movie again if i was intoxicated and felt like laughing at a man dressed as a woman for two hours. No wonder this went straight to video. thinking it would be interesting and it is not. it's just a man dressed as a woman in 1950. That's what the whole movie is about! my and my friend were cracking up at it. In the beginning there is a train wreck that looks totally fake, It is hilarious. In general however, it has no story and really wasn't about anything. Susan Sarandon just seems like she does not want to be there. It's very boring as wellI'd be curious to see if the filmmakers on this make anything else.

Pocketplayer As noted, Cillian Murphy was brilliant. I would imagine almost all the negative comments are by those, mainly men, who felt uncomfortable with this movie. You have to set aside your personal feelings and recognize a great performance starring at you from the screen.The pace allowed for space, similar to a drummer not playing a lot of notes...it's the breadth between the notes (think of a slow Pink Floyd groove). This movie was deep and should have a following, especially in psychology classes.You can't help but wonder what would cause a man to dress like a woman daily, and then enter his daily existence still entrapped by the wounds of his past.Many more noted than I can give an attempt to explain this condition, but in the end, life can be a very sad place.
