ShoogaSlim posted:The cat for best supporting actor or I boycott the academy awards. I agree wholeheartedly with this. The cat and the sister were the only likeable characters. I especially enjoyed the fact that after a big shouty fight with Nick, the sister still takes a second to pet the cat as she storms out the door. It was occasionally difficult to not see Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson.

PostNouveau posted:It was well-acted and well-directed, but I felt like a lot of the back half was riding real close to TV-movie-level bullshit. The authorities don't follow up on the huge holes in Amy's story? Fuckkkkk you. Someone's dead; her story would have been blown to pieces in a day. There were a lot of decisions that were obviously made for conventions' sake that took me out of things a little. Your cited example is one, but it ties into the media frenzy of things that this poor lost lady has such a dramatic return to safety that nobody really cares how it happened exactly. The one that bothered me, not so much for story purposes but for "having this grounded in reality" purposes was them sending her home from the hospital drenched in a man's blood, because god knows if she has any injuries under there or if he's carrying any dangerous blood-borne pathogens, but no, we need a Lady MacBeth-esque "a little water clears us of this deed" shower scene.

Surlaw posted:The Lady Macbeth inversion is infinitely more interesting than screening her for blood-borne pathogens regardless of the fact that it's not reality. It isn't meant to be. It's fine to say that was a dumb choice or bad subtext or whatever, but it's not a plot hole. Oh I agree with you, just seeing her come home still drenched in gore briefly interrupted my suspension of disbelief until they stepped into the shower and I went "THAT'S why, okay then."
