Review of The Woman in the Fifth (2011) by Keenan S — 27 Dec 2013
The Woman In The Fifth is an interesting psychological thriller and drama about a man whose world struts back and forth between reality and the unknown. The film makes it clear from the beginning that the main character is troubled, but the film keeps things interesting as it explores his troubled life involving seedy characters, his two separate love interests, his battle for custody of his daughter, and his other problems which cause him to deteriorate and drift into the unknown.
While it may have familiar twists and ideas, the way The Woman In The Fifth presents them makes them feel fresh again and I was always intrigued to see where it would go. I also especially loved how it went to great lengths to explore the main character and how he handles his series of awful situations.
It's a terribly underrated film that is a hell of a lot better than the terrible reception among the users would lead you to believe. It's an intriguing and compelling exploration of a troubled mind.
