The overall premise of the film is Pauline's inability to overcome her own delusions and the spiral it sends her through. There are some pretty intense sequences where Pauline's obsession with blood comes into play, and they make for very interesting viewing. I will only bring up one instance, because I don't want to ruin the entire movie for everyone. When Pauline in on her period, she decides to pull out her tampon and inspect it. The scene had me squirming, because I didn't know what she was going to do with it!
The last 35 minutes of the film are the best part, so if you decide to watch, make sure you watch it all the way through. It's a movie worth watching, especially if you know someone who has a personality disorder, or severe delusions. The film, as a whole, is somewhat heartbreaking. Every one knows at least one Pauline in their time on this earth, and it's painful to watch her struggle so hard to just be normal. I will say this, at first I didn't want to see this movie because McCord was the lead character, and her acting abilities have never been her strong point. After watching her play Pauline, I have a new found respect for her as an actress. She dug deep to play this character and it really paid off. I hope you enjoy this film as much as I did.
