They could've easily written them to lose all their money, get lost, all that over used big city shit, and they didn't.

I'm sure it's a worthwhile film but I won't be going out of my way to track it down. Especially after the above comment about it being similar to Chantal Akerman's films. I tried with her, watching several of her movies-Jeanne Dielman took life away from me-but found her work suffocating. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-12655929455773119412021-11-24T00:18:32.204-06:002021-11-24T00:18:32.204-06:00I haven't seen this one yet, but I have been p...I haven't seen this one yet, but I have been planning to for a while. Reading your review made me think of the Romanian film <i>4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days.</i> In that one, a young woman, also with the help of a friend, is trying to get an abortion in a place where it is legal. It's an excellent film, but similarly tough to watch.<br /><br />Thanks for joining! Looking forward to see what else you can come up with.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-53481677638711050362021-11-23T22:45:31.351-06:002021-11-23T22:45:31.351-06:00I never really liked Akerman's work, but I get...I never really liked Akerman's work, but I get exactly what you mean.

Notably the scene where Skylar is making out with a guy and the level of discomfort she is having as it just felt like I'm not watching a typical film but rather something that Chantal Akerman would've made if she was making films in the U.S.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
