I don't know what HBO's positioning for this film is, but I can see the strong taste of cheap soap operas. Confused, very confused.
As a mother, I think the qualities that should be possessed should be having the right values and the right mentality. Teaching by precept and example is really important, and the power of subtlety is hard to estimate. The mother in the film is a little morbid. Even if she has reached the point where she is going to be a waiter in a restaurant, she still requires her daughter to have a noble attitude and to be as high-minded as ever. What I want to say is, how incompatible these illusory so-called noble manners are with their stretched lives!
After the death of the youngest daughter, I thought she would be beaten and taught a lesson, and she would properly distance herself from Beragon. But in American films, it feels like sex is too big. Once the lust comes, nothing matters. . . Well, maybe it can be summed up with different values.
After the film is played, it becomes a scene of incestuous love between a daughter and her mother's lover. Sandwiched with all kinds of betrayals, from friends, partners, and flesh and blood. All the bad factors in human nature have been wiped out. It's really comprehensive.
Looking at the whole film, I thought that this situation, the separation of the female husband, was all caused by the female protagonist. That's pretty much what it's like to blame yourself. Therefore, the self-brewed bitter wine is only drunk by oneself.
