Alicia I love this movie so much
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
SnoopyStyle Seth (Henry Thomas) is an awkward loner taking care of his abusive father in upstate New York. He meets Marcy (Robin Tunney) in a hardware store. She's a shoplifter, from a rich trash transport family and suffers from Tourette syndrome. There is no black Barbie styling head and they decide to go to Toronto to get one. She has trouble getting medication. She self-medicates with alcohol and sex. They rob pharmacist Claude (Stephen Lang) and Seth gets shot. They crash the car and Walter (Michael Parks) tows them back to his place.Henry Thomas and Robin Tunney make for an appealing oddball couple. I'm not sure if Robin is overplaying Tourettes. Some of what she does is more than simply losing control. Although I guess she could be fixated on something and then act on it. This is a road trip movie. I would like more intensity in some of the scenes. There are lots of opportunity but the movie falls a little short.
bakondi This is one of my favorite movies of all time! The acting by Robin Tunney was fantastic, especially considering the unique difficulties with playing this role. I won't divulge many secrets, but she plays the role of a strong girl named Marcy, who is half frustrated and half apathetic/jaded about the serious problems in her life and finds a way to spontaneously escape her surroundings with a new friend played by Henry Thomas, who is reserved in a semi-endearing way and tries to be a peace-keeper during Marcy's outbursts. I couldn't give the movie 10 starts as it's slightly over the top with the emotional guidance attempted by Bob Gosse, almost in a Spielberg-ish kind of way, but 9 stars in accurate.
zentro I tuned in to this movie because there was nothing else to watch. I was immediately sucked in by the characters.Robin Tunney is nothing less than spectacular in this film. Her portrayal of a mentally ill woman is both moving and 100% believable. Really, this sort of thing is not easy to do. She pulls it off fantastically.We know early on this film is going to end tragically, but you cannot take your eyes off of it. The characters do stupid things, but unlike most Hollywood movies where people do stupid things because the plot demands it, these people do stupid things because the are not right in the head - and the things they do are completely consistent with their characters.This is just a great example of film making IMHO. Great writing, great acting, great directing. A film for people who think film can be more than mindless entertainment.
cjohnson12144 Not only is this a very interesting exploration of Tourette's and how we react to people in our lives, it has some of the most well-filmed views of a bleak northern winter landscape. There's nothing pretty about this film, but it stays with the viewer.
