A great movie about friendship, love, selfishness, egocentric, lies and consequences, sacrifice, identification process and society. Within the story are so many aspect that I feared they wouldn’t be given enough room but the film manages to give them just the attention they need. Especially the development of “the situation” is an unusual one and it gives the movie more depth and reality. I also like that you don’t have to say much (except that “outburst” of Martha which had to be like that because inside of her it explodes and it want to get out). So the scene where Karen runs up to Martha’s room and had to break in. You only see Karen’s face and the shadows, which is also a great picture the shadows of that will always be upon her. It changed her life and not even Joe tries to get her back because he knows she is gone, walked too far to get back to her life. He wants to but he knows she wouldn’t do it.
