The movie is ok but the score is as painful as nails on a chalk board. It sounds like someone strumming the strings of a piano. It's the kind of music the Stasi played to torture people. The score is just oddly placed. 90% of the movie is dark, leading to a feeling of claustrophobia.

For horror fans it's worth watching because there's some aspects of it, which brings a little to the horror genre. I wouldn't recommend it to a non horror fan. It plays very slow and really is torture to watch because of the painful score and darkness.

I give this movie a 5 out of 10 stars because it's not terrible but it's not something I'd want to watch again. I might recommend it to someone I wanted to torture.

Joseph Cotten is a familiar face if you've seen 'Shadow of Doubt'. I've seen this movie several times over the last twenty plus years and love it. I went to Niagara Falls as a kid and went on the various tours they go to in the movie. It's almost a time capsule movie, seeing Niagara Falls before the complete over saturation of tourist entrapment.

Marilyn Monroe is a mustang sally, you're never going to slow that mustang down, and certainly never break her. Women like Rose Loomis is a single serving woman, who married a hopeless romantic George Loomis for a meal ticket and a ride. This results in a uncomfortable unhappy marriage for both, usually ending in the free spirit mustang sally looking for the bigger better cowboy to ride her.

Monroe looks great in this. She really was an eye full. The movie looks great. I enjoyed the Jean Peters performance. She plays Polly the beautiful American down to earth woman. Polly is the type of woman men marry but Rose is the type men lust after. This is kind of mentioned by my favorite line in cinema, To wear a dress like that, you have to start laying plans when you're about thirteen. This was referring to a fuchsia bodycon dress Rose comes out of her room wearing.

There's a great single take of Rose aka Monroe's bum as she walks out of the scene in a tight gray pencil midi skirt. The wardrobe department picked the right attire to present Marilyn at her best. This was definitely a Marilyn Monroe movie. Marilyn made a huge impact on Hollywood in the 1950s, Sandra Dee, Doris Day, Tippi Hedren, Grace Kelly. It was the era of the platinum blonde and I have to say I'm sad I couldn't have lived then.

I loved this movie! I haven't seen a movie like this in years. It reminded me of 90s movies like 'Slacker', 'Ghost World', 'Swingers', and others. The acting by all cast was respectable. I love the single camera, one take stage performance style. It's how actresses and actors demonstrate their craft. I also like that style because that's how we see the world. We don't see the world in closeups and quick cuts.

The movie depicts a realistic relationship between women, who've known each other for a really long time. We all know a person who we've known for years that struggles. I had a girlfriend just like Jo. I did all I could to try and get her off pills. She ended up having a kid. Then overdosed and lost custody. We try to help people but our own lives get full and complicated and it gets to hard.

When these people we care about pass away, it hurts, because we hold on to the good memories of them. Time passes and they become a distant memory that we're grateful for.

I personally find the long takes to be interesting. It gives me time to look around and appreciate the scene. The question becomes how long can a single camera angle last before viewer gets bored. I personally think a minute or two feels about right.

I enjoyed watching the movie. I'll probably watch it again sometimes. I don't know who I'd recommend it. It's a peaceful movie. The sound is good, locations nice, I loved it.
