Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

mary-179-677383 Compulsion? Yes Amy is obsessed with cooking and foodR Rating? Not even the slightest. It has some terrible oral sex scenes (no nudity) and a rape scene (again no nudity and goes for about 4 seconds as its a flashback)Unrealistic? Very. The character Amy is delusional and wears although stunning dresses, she wears these everyday while cooking and staying at home all day with her hair and make up. Looking like a 50s housewife but in a modern unrealistically empty and plain apartment.The ending? I'll be honest. It's confusing and initially I had no idea what happened. I actually rewound it twice to figure it out. SPOILER ALERT- Although the ending is vague. This is what happened. The neighbour Saffron asked Amy to eat her when she asked "Help me do something" and Saffron gave Amy a necklace, so that Amy would always remember Saffron. Amy says she will do anything for Saffron and well, she already ate a bird, so why not a human.Then she feeds the cop the human meat, which was Saffron and when he doesn't finish it, she puts it down the grinder.The biggest key was when she said, "That bird just disappeared like Saffron". Eerie music plays and the cop realises he just ate human and runs off. Overall, don't waste your time. Ending was good but way to slow and boring. Would have made a good 40 minute Tales of Crept episode though.

ghiz876 The story of two disturbed women whose lives end up intertwining. Or to be precise, one obsessive and possibly delusional woman and another who simply has had a hard life. When the psychotic of the two, Amy, develops a fascination with her reclusive neighbour, Saffron, she shows it through trying to push her love of food on to her. What follows is a rather bizarre but intriguing series of events.A great aspect of this film is that I believe it's open to interpretation. Amy clearly doesn't have the tightest grip on reality, in fact we are often shown glimpses into her head where an imaginary audience is cheering her on. Combine this with the plot and characters going in the strangest of directions and the sceptical comments of a particular other character and the film raises the question of how much of it is in Amy's head and how much of it is simply events going in such a unique way.Admittedly, this film is probably a bit of an acquired taste(ha, get it). It's labelled a thriller, which is partly true but the vast majority of it is a character study. If you like analysing the mindsets of flawed characters, this film is for you. Worth re-watching if you want to look at things from a different angle.

suite92 Amy and Saffron live near one another. If the blinds are open, they can see into each other's apartments. As the picture starts, Detective Reynolds is looking into Saffron's disappearance.Through flashbacks, Reynolds learns that Amy and Saffron knew each other somewhat well. Amy is an aspiring TV cook, while Saffron is an actress and a commentator for women's magazines. The rise and fall of the romance between Amy and Fred is detailed. After that fails, Amy tries to get closer to Saffron.As Amy's obsession with getting a cooking show continues to fail, Saffron's acting career keeps gliding downward. After her breakup with Fred is well on its way, Amy continues to try to get closer to Saffron, who remains standoffish at first.Amy insists on Saffron's trying her dishes, but Saffron is a bulimic who smokes. More than once she barfs up what Amy has more or less force-fed her. Amy loves Saffron's old movies, as does Amy's mother. Saffron slowly warms to Amy. We have a flash back to Saffron being casting-couch raped as a child star when the director who did it wants her to audition for a new role. So, that opportunity was another dead end.Amy and Saffron get to know each other after that; how well does that turn out? ------Scores-------Cinematography: 10/10 Simply gorgeous.Sound: 10/10Acting: 8/10 The two leads were fine, as were Joe Montegna and Kevin Dillon.Screenplay: 5/10 The content misses the mark in a lot of ways. Amy's cooking obsession is over-abundantly clear, and loses some focus because of that. Saffron's trying to hold onto her place as a young star is rather sad. She does not make the adjustment to mature roles, which is unfortunate since studios show interest in her for middle-aged roles. Intellectually, anyway, it's clear what either of them should do, but they don't do it. This backdrop dulled my interest in the lesbian affair and in the missing persons investigation. The screenplay was by far the worst part of the film. There is too much repetition, and it is too slow going forward.

ali faras compulsion is one of the little complicated movies that I have seen. The movie has more drama and less thriller than the other thriller movies.on the other hand Hether Graham was so amazing in her performance. The way she cook food and present it to the table make me craving for food a lot. Also, Carrie Ann Moss performance were acceptable, but she did well in the movie.For conclusion, I think that it will be nice to watch the movie, but for the people who don't like too much drama I won't recommend them to watch it.
