Shedding Light on Complex Relationships

Having read about this film as part of a few film festivals I was intrigued and yet hesitant to watch it myself. I knew that it was about a very emotionally challenging relationship and experiences. As things happen, it resurfaced right at the right time, following a break up and challenging custody agreement process I was in. This movie does not shy away from the challenges and experiences we as humans go through in the attempt to relate, love and build lives together with other humans. And in particular it brings to the forefront how our innocence, expectations, earlier emotional wounds greatly impact how we exist and relate to others. For women, I believe this movie begins to create a way to peal off layers we have put on to face the world, to ultimately heal our own wounds by acknowledging and accepting them as wounds.

I would say for any woman that has had a relationship with challenges in relating, which I feel is most relationships (also between friends and family) this film begins to create a means of talking about why it can be so difficult to be in relationship.

The scenes from the theatrical play group within the movie are so cinematically beautiful and the female nudity which is presented is so raw and real and natural.
