Betterthandead

A courageous film about what it means to be a woman
Each character speaks to the modern experience of being a woman in our image-obsessed culture. Expectations of behavior stifle the whole personality from a young age; once we recognize we have allowed ourselves to be sold into this slavery, can we use our wits to re-invent ourselves in the images of our heroes?

Beautifully shot and edited by the director himself, the editing style breaks new ground by allowing more than one storyline to run on screen at one time. There are flashes of brilliance here.

I can't wait to see this auteur's next film!

An Emotionally Hearty Film
Betterthandead is a quiet but powerful film about the individual struggle to come to terms with your past while looking to the future. The film is in black and white, which contributes to the depth of the subject matter. The performances are powerful and raw. It's one worth seeing.

Great Movie
An unforgettable movie; there is something new to be noticed every time you watch it.
