I always check the spoiler box, just in case.
There was one comment that said something like he/she was sure out of all the people in this world, that there were probably people like those in the movie.
Well. More than a few. I mean, unless I am WAY off here, I figured out the minute she was looking at photos of a little girl (herself) that her dad had to have done something physical to her. Thus, the guilt and control he felt/had over her...with the apartment, money, criticisms. I've known TOO many women who have been molested by uncles, grandfathers, brothers, neighbors...and no, I haven't worked in a crisis center. Just women I've met over the years. So, her extreme introversion and warped view of sex and love and the dirtiness of a male member....all fits with a woman who was molested by someone....most likely someone she trusted or should have been able to trust.
This was a difficult movie to watch. Because I am a woman, I've known so many who were hurt, changed forever from the person they were MEANT to be.
Jason Ritter was really good. Vulnerable, persistent, loving. He reminded me of his dad at times...sweet eyes.
Enjoy the movie...if you know someone who was hurt/molested as a child...be wary and love them despite their scars. Just a suggestion. :)
