It's a dark and ugly trip into the raw emotions of these three characters that never feels watered down. In fact, sometimes it is painful to watch.<br /><br />This is, hands down, my fave Monroe performance. She is so good, so raw and authentic in this film, playing a character that was beaten down by life just like she had Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739955.post-43472966853070579172013-08-10T06:47:12.136-07:002013-08-10T06:47:12.136-07:00Thanks for your comment, Ken!
