In "Lethal Love Letter," there is an fascinting dialectic at work between a tidy, organized world and a state of complete chaos. The dynamic Amelia Sommers has created a successful business called "Squirrel" in which she consults with her clients on how to organize their lives in meaningful ways. But in the miasma of chaos in her own life, the universe of Amelia may best be described as semi-organized clutter.
The filmmakers were successful in developing dramatic tension in the uncertainty of who is disrupting Amelia's beautifully organized world. The three suspects are Amelia's ambitious assistant Becca; an overly zealous client named Forrest Jacobs who is clearly enamored of Amelia; and Amelia's old beau Mark, an enormous man, with whom she was in love in college.
The clashing of a giant Redwood of a man in Mark and the granite block of a woman in Amelia results in the rough equivalent of nuclear fusion.
It is clear from the beginning that a user named "Chaos" is stalking Amelia. But the main questions are: (1) who is Chaos? And (2) what is the motivation for the harassment? A character who may hold the key to solving the puzzle is Vicky, the sister of Liv, the deceased wife of Mark, who allegedly wrote Amelia the lethal love letter identified in the film's title. An intriguing scene at the funeral at the start suggests that Vicky is withholding something crucial.
The film made an allusion to Marie Kondo, a well-known consultant and expert on organizing one's life. The premise of a brilliant organizer was the backdrop for the dilemma faced by Amelia when she must confront the chaos in her life. By the end, it is clear that relying on herself will not be enough to clean up the mess. She needs the support of her friends to truly discover the "meaningful tidiness" on which her world is founded.
