Review of American Mary (2013) by Matthew F. J — 10 Oct 2013
The film starts with a really good idea but unfortunately the directors don't really seem to know how to wrap it up! Too bad because it all starts with a bang, a broke student trying to get a job as a stripper is offered a large sum of money to maintain someone alive.
... what follows is a weird tale of people who want some really weird cosmetic procedures done but can't seem to be able to accomplish their fantasies.... Well Bloody Mary is in the house and she quickly understand the profit she can make out of all this.
.. but then the film turn sour, goes into some weird directions, lose completely focus & ends up dull, uninteresting & making you wish it finishes soon. The end is a total mess though, they really could have some up with something a little better.
.. but still the film deserves a look not only for the very good first part but also for the atmosphere they manage to create, dark, unhealthy, on that level the film is good, too bad for the rest though.
..nuances would have been welcome....
