Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring filming, Asia Vieira (Molly) became very fond of Leonard Nimoy. While filming she had seen the ending of Star Trek 2: Cơn thịnh nộ của Khan (1982), and became very upset when she saw Spock had died. Being only six at the time, she thought it was Nimoy who had died in the film. The next day on the set, she was very happy to find out that he was okay, and it was just part of the film. She ran over to him and gave him a big hug, and told him she was glad to see that he was better.
Featured review
Excellent, compelling, infuriating, underrated.
I'm cautious about films with a message: they are too easily heavy-handed and preachy, or on the other extreme capable of producing a mass "understanding" that is actually untrue ("The Klansman/Birth of a Nation" comes to mind). Films dealing with sexual attitudes can very glibly preach either "damnation for transgression" or "freedom from repression" with equal superficiality. This film is remarkable for painting all its characters with dimension: no one is evil, but everyone can be weak, afraid, and make poor decisions with good yet fearful intentions. The acting is terrific, so you feel satisfied at having seen a movie of quality at the same time you feel frustrated, infuriated, and finally exhausted by the outcome of the plot. Another example of Leonard Nimoy's excellent qualities as a director, forever lost - I'm afraid - in the strange perception that his work in Star Trek makes all of his career somehow lightweight.
