This film is almost instantly recognisable as a film that has been made since the choice, not accident, but choice, of some directors and editors, if not also producers, to perpetuate female characters' supposed gender-dependent vulnerabilities, as-distinct-from mens'-vulnerabilities,..
... it is therefore both sexist and tiring, and if i were to go off on a tirade about it, bereating both male and female perpetuators of the myths of women's and men's ... whichevers... it'd start with 2 points, but i'll stop there, or this review would go on for an hour.
1 regressives/ppl who've regressed mmm ... 'over something', can regress into states that (at least) used to, have anxiety,.. inseparably associated with whatever irrational behaviour/states they get into, but they don't necessarily, and depending on whether or not the original external perceived-threats are still there or not,.. only SOMEtimes, have the same states, particularly,.. so while many of the in-the-wider-world concerns she had would still be external, and THEY, would cause her anxiety,.. a film that then spent TIME, cinematically, and directionally,.. and visually,.. on THOSE things, that caused what they cause in her,..
...by constrast, a film that band-aids a SOURCE OF ANXIETY, by having a life-drama ... when clearly the film concept/s are MEANT, to be moreso about / moreso contrasting what have not become established skills in her,..
... is... pffffffff.
Could've gone somewhere that would stick to the actual psychology of regression,..
... but no. Another senstionalist ended-up-a-turd in a shoe, for some perceiving sentimentality at Canne / wherever,..
COMPLETELY missing the point, about what to NOT, do, about mental health, so as to both expose it for what it really is,.. and to also retain your credibility / long-term retention of the film.
----------
Instead, the more people RE-watch this film, i have no doubt, the more they will score it lower, it not much lower, the subsequent times around, until they get sick of it.
oh, yes, and of course, the unnecessary someone-else's-interpretation- of-what-talking-to-someone-imaginary, neccessarily means.
GROW UP, director/producer/acting/editors, of this one.
there is a single word, that can apply to many if not most, supposedly 'enough', to go straight to accusations of hallucinations...
REHERSAL.
many simply PRETEND, that something is there, to think things through, when they are alone, or to work-through, their own predictions of others' behaviour , you might be familiar with it,.. its called ACTING OUT ROLES.
-------------
does tend to happen in films a bit,.. that.
Helen Razer... where are you, you lusty-beast. destroy, this film.
