This story was really strange. It gets a 7 because it kept me intrigued, but I can only summarize it as bizarre. The plot can best be described as a scrapbook from a famous writers life. There's no real driving force in the movie, and while the movie kept me interested, theres no possible deeper meaning long after you watch it. It's one of those indie films that plays a bit too much with story cuts and sex scenes. Perhaps Im just unfamiliar with Shirley Jackson's work and it is in the style of one of her books, but to an unenlightened viewer, expect to be confused and expecting something to happen next that never comes.
