Very similar to “Waiting for Godot”,where nothing happens twice. In this nothing happens once.
The visuals didn’t enhance the story, but the voice over was good. I found the ending very troubling, in that “…maybe what you should remember is the person who hurt you smiling.” Then I remembered my rapist’s laughter, and maybe what’s what the film maker is getting at. If I’m wrong, and what she’s trying to say is to remember the good in that person, then her message is, indeed, a troubling one. I couldn’t tell which it was.
Sad and depressing. I am sorry for your experience, but I do not want to be saddened, or depressed. Why can’t this competition be about happier and more entertaining subjects?
This doesn’t work as a film. Repetitive images having no clear connection to the story; boring. A sad story but not much of a movie.
Too long. Victim or not? Would she have felt hurt if he had no girlfriend. How do you not remember or wake up? Very strange.
Disturbing…..it makes me wonder if alcohol might be involved for her not to really wake up and be aware. Who cares if he has a girlfriend or not. We as women can do a great deal to send clearer messages about what we will NOT be receptive to. He took advantage of their brief friendship but she could have stopped this from happening. She referred to similar prior experiences with men which makes me wonder if she is truly the victim. Not a very interesting film
