This film is an odd bird. It's set in NYC in 1977 and Naomi Watts plays a woman who is terrified to leave her apartment which is located in a rundown Bronx ghetto. You gradually learn her story in her interactions during visits by the few outsiders she allows into her life as she hovers near a mental breakdown. It's more a play than a film. No violence and a relatively positive ending.
You probably need to have lived through the 70s to appreciate it. But I liked it a lot.
It has its flaws, the title being the most significant. Not sure what they were thinking. But it in no way deserves all the snarky 1 and 2 numeric ratings. IMDB please! drop the numeric rating and make people justify their gripes. A plus or minus for those too lazy to write something would be sufficient.
