This is a film with about as much substance as the money-grubbing revisit of David Lynch to TWIN PEAKS. Vulgar and pointless.
The good - Amy Adams. Jake G. The superimposed story-in-story. The cleverly conceived shots. The ending. The subtle nuances which makes this a "veiled threat and a revenge". Tom Ford's direction. The Lynchian undercurrent of tension. The bad - (Or is that a good and intentional thing?) - The movie leaves you feeling somewhat incomplete on a lot of fronts. I bet you won't watch this movie a second time even if you really liked it, because we only want to recreate wholesome experiences. This one leaves you hanging. Just like Amy's character at the dinner table.
I like this other wife lady.Intense.I sure as hell don't want Michael Shannon interrogating me.Very intense.
It was only after I saw an interview with the director, Tom Ford, that I understood the real theme of the film. And once you get that theme, believe me... you are going to love it. The goods are not going to look so good, and the weak are going to look powerful to you. If you want to know the theme keep reading, if not... don't worry I won't give any spoilers. Just a hint: remember the big painting, there is your theme. Don't miss this film.
