intriguing journey
By day, Sharon (Mimi Rogers) works in a cubicle as a telephone operator. By night, she has sexual escapades with Vic and other partners. Some at work have dreams of a pearl. They follow a boy as born-again Christians. Sharon is tired of her empty life and starts pursuing the group. She convinces artist Randy (David Duchovny) to join. The boy claims the rapture is coming in 5 or 6 years. Six years later, Sharon is married to Randy with daughter Mary. Randy is killed in a workplace mass murder. Following the boy's words, Sharon takes Mary to the desert to await for the rapture. Deputy Foster (Will Patton) is concerned about the mother daughter alone in the desert.
It's an intriguing journey. Mimi's reserved coolness does prevent a more epic emotional journey. I don't really find her life before that horrible. It's less than satisfying and that could be an interesting start. I keep imagining other actresses would give the character bigger emotions. Nevertheless, this journey is worth the watch.
