Crystallized Brilliance

Captivating and hypnotic portrayals by Tilda Swinton and Amber Tamblyn

Magnetic acting by Timothy Hutton, Denis O'Hare, and Melissa Leo, who receive excruciatingly minimal screen time portraying crucial characters

Spellbinding cinematography and imagery and allusions

Painstakingly realistic situations, events, conversations, human interactions

A film about how people interact and communicate with each other in difficult situations that will change their lives forever...how missed opportunities of communication permanently transform the lives of people...how treasured events in women's lives - loss of virginity and pregnancy - are seemingly always subverted and mistreated and degraded by lack of clear communication...
