Evil appears as Virtue

Three people (Jean, Michael and Steph) from very different backgrounds, land up together and spend time in an almost idyllic setting.

Jean, a matriarchal figure, desperately tries to create the life she could never enjoy before. She had to look after her mother and from this and other statements she makes, one can conclude that she had difficulty in finding and or maintaining meaningful relationships.

Michael and Steph's conduct perfectly illustrates how seductive one's own desires can be. The "I deserve this" attitude blinds them to the reality of what they are actually doing. Because they have challenging lives, lies and deceit, theft and common criminality becomes acceptable and is almost glamorized in the movie. The viewer is made to sympathize with their self-centered delusions. Vulgar crime is portrayed through a soft lens of acceptability; crime is excused because of the "deserving" circumstances.

When Michael and Steph enter Jean's life, the scene is set for her to create her fantasy world. Jean seems fair and soft spoken, decent, moral, virtuous and respectable. But in fact Jean is manipulating others in order to satisfy her own needs - with deadly consequences. Jean looks pure but is in fact fatally tainted. Jean is the epitome of pure evil.

This movie makes for very good entertainment and is well worth a watch. It makes one realize that sometimes you have to take a step back and critically look at what you are doing. The "Me-Me-Me" attitude of so many people today, can in fact be very dangerous...

An excellent, crazy drama.

What happens when three lonely people, all of whom are looking for something, be it love, support or comfort, encounter one another, and begin living a lie, a sumptuous, comfortable, glorious lie?

What a wonderful ninety minute drama this is, it's so incredibly weird and wonderful, but engaging, funny, intriguing, and has a real shock moment.

It starts off In a somewhat serious tone, then becomes an almost whimsical drama of wonder and disbelief, until the traumatic act that totally transforms the story.

Stef had come from an awful home life, Jason truly was a monster, Michael started off as a petty thief, was Jean perhaps the most deluded and crazed of them all? Did she perhaps cause the events?

I wonder if like me, you kept on waiting for people to turn up?

It's crazy, it's brilliant. 9/10.
