An average movie

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Christina Ricci, I still wanted to check it out. By the way, what happened to her actually? It has been a while since I have heard from her, expect for ‘Pan Am’ which was a failure. Anyway, for some personal reasons, I was really intrigued by the main subject developed in this feature. Eventually, they handled it quite well but I was still not entirely convinced though. Still, there was a nice cast (Christina Ricci, Jason Biggs, Anne Heche, Michelle Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jessica Lange) even if it remains a great challenge to take Jason Biggs seriously in a drama but, at least, he gave his best shot. On the other hand, I was really impressed by Jessica Lange and above all by Christina Ricci. Such a talented actress, I wish she would soon get a good part in a good movie for a change. Still, even though it was interesting to see a movie about this subject, in my opinion, they barely scratched the surface and gave the usual stereotypes about depression. I don’t know, I wish they went a little further but , at the end of the day, it remains a cheap indie drama which never managed to be truly compelling. Still, in spite its flaws, it is one of the few movies dealing with this subject and only therefore I still think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Christina Ricci’s work.
