Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Best movie of this year hands down!
Redundant and unnecessary.
good film but with many flaws
Honestly when you have to watch 128 minutes of heather graham parading her pushed up and out breasts, without her getting naked is a total waste of film space...if she had sexual relations with other than food it could have fooled me...her execution of the parrot was morbid and unnecessary...if i had a woman at home that looked like her, she wouldn't have time to cook or daydream, let alone watch old films...the chef that actually prepared the meals did a decent job but plating food is far more over rated than it should be...
Something you should think Heather Graham would be able to do. And I'm talking acting wise not her character and what happens (or not) in the story. But unfortunately she lacks something. A secret "ingredient" (no pun intended) maybe? And even Ms. Matrix herself can not save this entirely (though she has the better role and makes more of it, than the lead we are given).The story itself is pretty decent with some nice twists and turns. But most of some "what the heck" moments go by without making a big impact (even though they should be able to). It's a mixture of direction, setting and not really having an impact at the right time (or with the right "weapons", again no pun intended). While this has some flavor to it, it will rather leave you with a sour taste ...
The story of two disturbed women whose lives end up intertwining. Or to be precise, one obsessive and possibly delusional woman and another who simply has had a hard life. When the psychotic of the two, Amy, develops a fascination with her reclusive neighbour, Saffron, she shows it through trying to push her love of food on to her. What follows is a rather bizarre but intriguing series of events.A great aspect of this film is that I believe it's open to interpretation. Amy clearly doesn't have the tightest grip on reality, in fact we are often shown glimpses into her head where an imaginary audience is cheering her on. Combine this with the plot and characters going in the strangest of directions and the sceptical comments of a particular other character and the film raises the question of how much of it is in Amy's head and how much of it is simply events going in such a unique way.Admittedly, this film is probably a bit of an acquired taste(ha, get it). It's labelled a thriller, which is partly true but the vast majority of it is a character study. If you like analysing the mindsets of flawed characters, this film is for you. Worth re-watching if you want to look at things from a different angle.
Simply horrible. Don't waste your time. The plot never develops enough for the viewer to care. It is always nice to see a blonde in high heels and in a dress with lots of cleavage but after a short time it gets old fast in this movie. There's nothing to Heather Graham's character but annoyance. She annoys everyone around her with talk of food and equally annoys the audience. She does nothing exciting. Carrie-Ann Moss' scene where she is confronted by her rapist from when she was a teen was just stupid, overacted and lacked any compassion whatsoever. What seemed like a potential lesbianic climax fizzled horribly with no clear indication about what really happened after those moments in bed. You are left to guess but even that is pointless as you really don't care anymore at that point.
