I was very excited to see this film and thought Ms. WInstead (who I loved in Fargo) was excellent as were the other actors. However I was often distracted by the character Nina's co-star, vomit. The decision to show the character vomiting throughout the film is one I will never understand. There are other ways to show extreme anxiety. At least most of the time the vomiting was shown from afar, but the decision to have her vomit on a lover in close-up? Why? Lately it seems that everything I watch shows a character vomiting, and in this case it took away from the movie. Ms. Winstead surely could have acted her extreme anxiety instead of the director/writer etc. using the vomit card. It made the movie at times unwatchable to me, and I think it was a cheap device and it's why I gave the movie a lower rating than I would have otherwise.
