Watched "Running With Scissors" tonight. Oh...my...god. What an amazingly wrenching film. I feel like I've been hit by a train.
I'd call this film equal parts "Tennenbaums" and "Requeim for a Dream," with a dash of "Basketball Diaries." As far as dark comedies go, this one is pitch freakin' black.
Annette Bening acted the hell out of this one. Truly an inspired performance. Jill Clayburgh was phenomenal in an understated role. Toss in Gwyneth Paltrow and Alec Baldwin and you've got a nice ensemble cast.
I damn near turned this movie off ten minutes in, but then I got hooked. A very powerful motion picture. Highly recommended.
