I did earn a college degree, so I know my brain works pretty well some of the time. Now, for the life of me, I can not see the point of this movie?
I do understand how Anne's seeing her husband commit suicide would cause her great psychological duress. And it's also reasonable that that same emotional trauma also caused Anne to stop talking, but there's no explanation why Anne was so fixated on the dolls? There's also no history or reason for Anne's hallucinations, her self harming, or any of the other odd behaviors she exhibited throughout the movie. Anne's actions and reactions didn't seem real, they weren't typical for the type of trauma she suffered, nor were they usual for depression, etc., so this movie made no sense to me. Now combine all the aforementioned things with poor acting, poor directing, and poor sound, etc., and you have Anne. I just can't be more generous with my rating--sorry, it's two stars.
