Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Holy Girl (2005)

Odd story that, apparently, enjoyed making the audience feel off-balance. We don't know, right away, that the man who stumbles into the bed containing mother and daughter is the mother's brother…and we don't understand that the mother and brother own and operate the hotel (or even, in fact, that it is a hotel) at first. But my interest won out over my frustration.

The girls are being taught the importance of hearing God's voice in regard to a spiritual vocation (life mission) and a girl believes firmly that her vocation is to "save" a man who gets off on pressing up against girls in crowds. Uncomfortable, to be sure, but definitely not the same old thing.
