Stand By for Estrogen

Saw an emotionally intense movie tonight called "Nine Lives." It's about nine different women caught in emotionally fraught situations (i.e. in jail, about to undergo surgery, attending the funeral of an ex-husband's second wife).

Each of the nine stories is told in a single take lasting several minutes. This film technique really adds to the emotional intimacy of the film.

And the great cast really gives some memorable performances. Among my favorites in the movie are Glenn Close, Holly Hunter, Mary Kay Place and Sissy Spacek.
