MARY WANTS TO KILL is an amazing twenty (or so) minute journey through a small section of the life of a frustrated gal having a particularly bad day. The cinematography is completely within the realm of professionalism, the music selections are priceless, the performances second-to-none, and the story unique and imaginative. After a creepy molestation in a public bathroom, following which her keys are flushed down the toilet, and an uncooperative grocery store clerk gives her a hard time, Mary escapes to the places she knows she can count on to treat her kindly--the local fish pond, her knit goods stand at the local market, and most importantly, her imagination. Deeply flawed? Maybe I'd consider it that if it'd had a budget of more than a few hundred bucks--for what it is (one of the greatest student shorts I've ever seen), it remains flawless. Confusing? Maybe if you've only ever seen movies that were spoon-fed to you by big studios. Unfunny? Maybe if your sense of humor is founded in thinking TV shows like "Friends" are great. This movie totally rules. Shamefully, it's rarely been seen publicly outside of the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase (NOT a Student Film Festival, as you might have read) as it so deserves to be.
Call me partial as a (marginal) member of the cast and crew, but this movie was the movie to which I was looking forward the most, and the one that delighted me more than any other, at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase 2005. Congratulations are in order to Anne Freivogel for making sure this awesome film was achieved. Bravo!
