I would have enjoyed it more if it weren't for the implication of the scenes flashed during the beginning of the credits at the end of the film. Overall, it felt like some of the care and pacing of the bulk of the film ended up getting squeezed and shedding quality in the last fifteen minutes. I enjoyed the quasi-religious symbolism of the eco-terrorists - if they could have shown just a little more about how that was affecting the lead with her Christian convictions it could have been brilliant. There was just a trace of that brilliance in the "hardness" of her Christian self breaking down when she was being "washed." One of the better moments of the film. I would suggest that the relational component of what was going on in that group was as worry of discussion as the anti-corporate message. ***+ from me - two mugs up.Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391426206936180224noreply@blogger.com
