Metaphorically it reminds me of 'hysterical blindness' with uma thurman


At times it was hard to watch because it reminds me of a movie with uma thurman called 'hysterical blindness'; She seemed more lost and hurt when he moved on (quicker than she expected he would) before she did. It was a well played movie but lets face it; women get so much more offended if men break up with them before the woman can break up with him. That seems to be the undying tension that drives this movie. I know, I know; I don't know what I'm talking about. but then she is the one that got so offended. She's the one that can't make up her mind.

good comparison w/Hysterical Blindness, you are right about the similarities. Kind of fascinating to watch women like this. I think many women (including myself) see parts of myself in those characters, or at least parts of myself when I was young.
