Sometimes a nice quiet character study is what you want, as opposed to a tense thriller or a big studio picture. If that's what you're in the mood for, then this film should be right up your alley. A slow burn examination of how people tend to put their expectorations in others rather than themselves, and how doing so leads one's life to implode, both emotionally and physically. In this case everything around Clive the main character is falling apart- her family motel, her relationship with her husband- all because she's waiting on someone else to fulfill her life. To the point where she dresses like a little kid because that's essentially where her life as she knew it stopped. But she confronts her fear, that there is no fixing her life and that there's a very real chance it won't get better, and while that's bleak, it's also beautiful because it causes her to stop looking for others to fix her life and she takes command of her own self and becomes a grown up. It's actually quite nice, just wish there'd of been a few less emotional fights with mom and the hubby before she got there.
