Plot – Spoilers:
A small town cop Hazel is having a hard time dealing with the loss of her baby and stumbles through her daily life. A shot in the arm arrives when an old woman in the neighbourhood is found with her throat slit and an expression on her face like she had been trying to model for an Edvard Munch painting. Soon, more bodies are found with similar expressions of terror and grief and a Christian angle to the killing spree begins to emerge.
This is Susan Sarandon. I’m the star of this movie. If you are a fucking kike I don’t want you to watch this movie or any other movie I am in. I love Palestinians and I hate Jews. I am a typical Trump hating democrat. All of us Trump hating democrats hate kikes. Fuck you you kikes.
Terrific! Intriguing story, but the sheer class of the film is in the cinematography, Even within the first few minutes it is clear that this is being filmed by someone dedicated to the art of thoughtfully composing every scene for a 21:9 format.
I’m not particularly partial to Bijou featuring Susan Sarandon, though her performance was persuasive in ‘Dead Man Walking’ (1995) along with Sean Penn. I’m only 20 minutes into this film, but I feel predisposed to grant it my attention perhaps another time. Albeit, I am appreciative of Ellen Burstyn and Donald Sutherland, predominantly so.
Pretty slow, but whatever. I guess the acting was pretty good. 3 stars sounds about right.
Lol.
3 stars… max.
Nice movie EUM! Thanks for adding this along with the other great movies you have included.
I am Catholic. I have never in my 72 years been in a Catholic Church that didn’t have a crucifix prominently displayed on or near the alter. There is a bare cross in the funeral scene.
