Eat Me

I'm not gonna lie..Jacqueline Wright's "Eat Me" is a tough film to watch...but not in a begrudgingly masochistic way. It is one of those rare films that takes the dynamics of a human relationship, puts them in a blender, and serves it as part of a five-course meal complete with a bloody rare slice of veal, bottle of Dom, and a slice of tiramisu to close. Wright's character Tommy has lost her will to live, and, when confronted by a home intruder with the question and relevance of her mortality, both perpetrator and victim are called to answer. The roller coaster that ensues is like no other, with acting by Wright and Carter as gold as it gets. Martin Carrillo's score adds an impending urgency that these two haunting humans need for understanding and redemption, and Adrian Cruz's direction pulls focus to the characters' plight and inner demons as a way to justify the horrific actions that ensue. It is a game of living. It is a game of loving, and, most poetically, it is a game of connecting to the traumas and childhoods that create us..that will help us understand..and ultimately heal. "Eat Me" will make you THINK. Live a little. GO SEE IT.

Can't recall another movie like this. the dialog is authentic. it's paced nicely. nice simple score. it is quite jarring. has some kind of underlying message, but i'll have to watch it again before cementing an opinion on that. this is as good a movie as is possible with a 50k budget, 3 actors, and one location, which is actually the lead character/screenwriters house.

Just watched a truly unique film, I've really never seen anything like it. A suicidal woman, that has taken a huge number of pills, and close to death, is interrupted by two home intruders. One intruder goes to get some beer and crap, and the other guy takes advantage of the passed out, but not dead woman. She eventually comes around, so basically the intruders have saved her from dying. He does everything to her, including rape, but since she only wants to die, none of this makes any difference to her. The movie now turns into a "My Dinner With Andre" as it turns into a talk fest. This was recommended to me, and I did really enjoy it, although it is one of the weirdest movies I have seen.

This art piece is definitely a drama.

No horror. No mystery. There is some solid Good Girls-ish humor.

And I did not like the movie until more than halfway through its duration.

Even then, the plausibility is unacceptable. The dialogue would be excellent for NOT that situation.

This is not your usual run of the mill, "house invasion" movie. It is very different to anything you will have ever seen before within that genre. The scene is set with an attempted suicide superimposed by a house invasion. What follows is disturbing, comedic, and bizarre. You feel an uncomfortable witness to brutality and degradation, but the movie and tight acting holds your attention enough to see it though. It's an original and compelling movie, and leads us to question what our lives really account for.
