CGiii Comment
Lennon's debut - a misandrous & misogynistic rollercoaster ride.
Domestic abuse, back-stabbing, & vicious humour are all presented in an impressive debut - with possibly the most disgusting male character ever to be filmed.
The pace is fast but it, unfortunately, peters out towards the end - becoming rather predictable.
Lesbians will be happy with it - there are no stereotypes here - which does make for a very pleasant change.

The(ir) Blurb...
Kate and her brutish boyfriend Big Al sell handguns on the streets of New York. She's smart, stylish, and self-confident, but all that leaves her when Al, in a jealous and self-indulgent rage, beats her. Three friends encourage her recovery: Vic, a woman who would like to be Kate's lover; Reilly, who runs with Al but also is attracted to Kate and repulsed by Al's violence; and, Liz, the counselor assigned to Kate from a battered-women's program. Vic and Reilly talk about killing Al, Liz gives pep talks; Kate remains frightened. Will Al's menace and Kate's dependency hold sway?
