Felt (2014)

Too many questions left unanswered in this film. I felt for Amy, she is clearly a very disturbed girl who never got over her past sexual trauma. It was clear from the beginning she was on a downward spiral but what was ever done to help her? Her friends tried, but it seemed she was destined for depravity.I'm not sure why this young guy did not run the other way when he realized how disturbed she was. That might sound cruel, but did he not have any inkling to how disturbed she really was? Did he think he could save her? Did she snap because she thought he was cheating or would she have done so anyway? I think either way she was doomed.Where was her family? There was no mention of getting her psychiatric treatment, it was as if she was just viewed as eccentric and infantile. I think this was an important topic to address, but for me, as a woman, this was just too horrible for me to watch. This is the most vile and depressing film I have ever seen. I hope I never see anything this disturbing again.

I'm stunned, honestly. I am rarely thoroughly invested in movies because I can usually feel the clear divide between real life and the screen, but this one REALLY pulled me in. It was beautiful, for lack of a better word. Gorgeous. Some of the shots will stay with me for a very, very long time. Amy's pain...so real and heart- wrenching. And I love love love the posing in the very last scene. Visceral, cutting, vivid. I can see why people would be upset about this movie being labeled horror. Up until the very end, not much occurs that would be found in a typical horror movie. But at the same time, I can see why it IS horror. There are monsters everywhere in the movie: depression, trauma, a broken heart, desperation, Amy herself. And as she says in the movie, many other forms of violence exist besides the kind that involves a gun or a beating, and you see it so clearly everywhere in this movie. I can say, with all the genuineness I can muster, that I love this film. I'm usually very bad at handling the drama genre because I find that the emotions can be overwhelming. This one, though, is a perfect balance of quirky/funny/fascinating and utterly sad. It kept me engaged and hoping so hard for a happy ending without coming on too strong. So worth the watch.

I like weird movies. I'm pro women. I like the idea of a movie exploring this topic.It seems the point was just to be weird and shocking. The message intended was not received by me. All I saw was a girl who should probably be institutionalized be treated as a mentally healthy person for the whole movie. She clearly is not, and for me, that's the only message that comes across. I already was on the side of women, but if I had not been, this movie would have certainly done absolutely nothing to sway me. Some movies seem to have absolutely no merits, and this is one of them.

What a complete waste of time! This has nothing to do with horror, thriller or romance, for that matter..It's just a bleak take on a very interesting subject, but poorly placed and paced. The main character isn't developed enough, we know nothing about the pain she's been through and we only get to see her act as a spoiled brat, a delusional and empty person and a young woman in love..only to have it all come to a sudden end latter on. And it's not enough, sorry to say.. It goes simply from point A to point B without suspense,momentum nor does it grow the tension by adding certain elements of mystery. No way this hard boiled drama experiment can be rated a horror-thriller!
