I don't think words can express how much I value this movie and how important the experience was to me. I find it very rare to find movies in which I relate to the female characters. They are usually one dimensional paper cutouts that play secondary roles to the men. When I heard the title of "1-Hour Fantasy Girl" I thought it was going to be more of the same. I am rarely wrong, but wow, was I wrong!
This movie was so powerful and such a feminist piece (made by men, which is amazing and baffling at the same time, showing the true talent of the director and creative team). The strength of its lead character and her story actually made this film the first thing I thought about when I woke up the next morning. The story captures you from the first moment and doesn't let you go, even long after the credits roll.
Overall, this movie is a huge success story for women. It depicts society's restrictions of what women are forced to be versus women's innate nature to love and trust. And if the social depiction in itself doesn't hook you, the heightened level of raw emotion, vulnerability, and a continued awareness of danger will. Just watch it!
