I went to this movie quite by chance and ended up really liking it. It's a cute, low budget 21st century version of Thelma and Louise, only this time the girls are lesbians and one is pure evil. The film is the story of Toni, played by Christelle Baguidy, a young naive girl who has moved with her husband to his crazy home town of Devil's Cove. There she meets the charismatic but completely malevolent Jackie, Chloe Traicos, who she embarks in a complicated lesbian affair with. When Rick Cameron Barnes, Toni's abusive husband attempts to stop her affair, Toni and Jackie murder him in cold blood. The story takes on several interesting twists and turns the main one being that Toni is not the sweet innocent she first appears to be. Aside from the strong, exciting story line the movie is packed with interesting characters and amusing dialogue that keeps you fully entertained the whole way through. The performances are brilliant especially Traicos who you cannot stop watching. Fully recommend !

What was Portman thinking?
20 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly all I can say by the end of this film is: What was Natalie Portman thinking? If someone had come to me with this script I would have told them to go away and work on it some more. The story made no sense. It starts off as a moving story of a young girl who faces the trauma of surviving a school shooting and from this her musical career takes off. It then jumps 15 odd years into the future where we see the girl, is now a spoilt rock star with no regard for anyone's feelings including those of her sister and daughter. This isn't so bad but nothing is resolved, nothing happens and it has this bizarre ending with watching her sing song after song at her rock concert. Admittedly Portman's performance is brilliant. But there really is not point to it at all.
