(Flash Review)
This is a methodically paced film. Elements in the frame communicate a lot about the state of mind on the protagonist female, Carol, played by Julianne Moore. Carol slowly begins to feel frighteningly ill due to the world around her and all the invisible chemicals immersed in our society. As well as the shallowness of her suburban world and needless stresses. After several doctor appointments and her symptoms getting worse she heads to a purity camp where people there live free from urban toxins. Will leaving her world, home, family and lifestyle cure her and if so, at what ultimate cost? Julianne Moore plays this character splendidly and 90s styles are in full form here! The first half was very intriguing while the second half fell flat and uninteresting for me. Perhaps playing off of the direction her life has taken. Certainly a thoughtful and unique story.
