A Woman Under the Influence

Dude, what a fucking performance from everyone especially Gena, mind-blowing.
I forgot that I'm sitting on my bed watching this, I felt like I'm in the middle of the house.
Maybe bc it was relatable in a way idk.
One of the best female leads of all time.
God, they literally kept-

“just be yourself” okay but when she is she’s called crazy and is silenced. second, the “i’ll kill you/the kids” okay no wonder the kids didn’t want to hold your hands afterwards NICK you’re a terrible father and the fact that no one questioned his role as a parent/husband,,, abysmal because he got so angry and did that shit PUBLICLY too. and her reunion with her kids made me tears and they way they just wanted to stay with her and make sure she was alright ugh,, i love how they portrayed her return and how she was trying to act calm and like she “wasn’t crazy” anymore so that no they wouldn’t send her back. just the way people treated her versus how everyone else got to have outbursts of emotions but hers weren’t okay because she was “insane”

“Dad, will you stand up for me?”

masterpiece, explores complex themes beautifully, perfect acting

such a unique and upsetting experience, a gem in emotional and anxiety-inducing film that happens to be one of cassavetes’ indie masterworks. the writing is phenomenal and gena rowlands gives an all-time great performance in this character study. an essential classic
