A film for the intelligent viewer
Don't pay too much attention to all these dismissive Babbit sorts of folks - this is a film where the truth of what happened is held in suspense to various competing narratives, ably & subtly rendered. The central figure is not a hero/heroine, she is a complex person with complex motives, dealing w/ a complex life situation made dire. Its adult fare - if you want to be hit over the head, pampered, comforted w/ the usual sort of pablum, this ain't it.
