Thanks 408. here's the rest of the review and I like what he said on several fronts.

This is Heather Wahlquist's first lead after a number of supporting roles, and to say she carries the film is an understatement; she's on screen for nearly every frame of the movie. It is quite a performance, with Wahlquist slowly peeling away layers from her character until a pivotal scene when her damaged soul is laid bare for the audience. Mary is a narcissist, and probably a nymphomaniac and a nutcase, but the character is always complex and never a caricature. She is also a very unreliable protagonist, as we are not sure what is real and what is her own fantasy/psychosis from one moment to the next. An Oscar nomination might be a long shot, but it is surely earned here.

Both Cassavetes and Wahlquist deserve credit for their twisty screenplay, which truly feels original and does not for a moment show its hand. It's a terrible cliché to say the movie kept me guessing, but the film really is full of surprises until the very end. What is interesting is that looking back, everything that occurs seems inevitable, particularly the last beats of the movie which feature a brief but funny cameo from Ray Liotta. Not many people may get to see Yellow in theaters, but they should. It's a surprisingly fresh and entertaining film.



I hope it does get in theaters, I think it's going to be the kind of movie that word of mouth will spread.. people will come, just out of curiosity.
