Customer Reviews

What a big icepick you have!

All the better to...you with Holy Toledo, what kind of film is this? It has all the earmarks of an independent film. The actors look like they are reading the script, except for Meatloaf, who looks like he does not know where the script is. The props are real enough. The camera jerks around like the “Blair Witch Project.” The music came from an old Hallmark film. Moreover, the pointed humor is blunt. The lobotomy scenes are right out of “The Seven Year Itch” – Upward, inward, pulsating, ending, and unending. A girl, Anna Watson (Michelle Williams), with a slight mental disorder, is in a dysfunctional world. As we see what her problem is, we also get a real glimpse of TV and camera footage from the 50s. There was the Rosa Luxemburg trial and the bomb (the big one). Even “The Tenth Man” broadcast was real. You can see the yellowing pages of a copy of Life Magazine from 1947. Anna cannot communicate with her brother after the war, as he has gone off the mental deep end. Besides, her gangster husband is a sort of hands-on guy when it comes to dealing with anger. Anna decides the only way to face her problems is to get a lobotomy. Her gangster boyfriend convinces one of his subordinates, Tom (Tim Guinee), to play the doctor and tell her she does not need one. Tom plays the doctor too well. Dr. Tom Franklin: You know, I'm not a real doctor. Anna Watson: It's ok; I'm not a real patient. The ending is quite cool.
