Strange film about social anomie, loneliness and emotional dissociation that is a cross between Performance and Single White Female.
The women here become so closely-associated with one another that they begin to resemble and play each other’s roles in their desperate attempts to escape the traps they have made of their own lives. This is a view of Western culture where everyone is playing a part rather than being themselves.
Shelley DUVALL and Sissy SPACEK are both excellent and make the film watchable despite its deliberate obscurantism. Hypnotic, beautiful and haunting - but essentially empty.
