Rid of Me is a very dark drama about a woman who goes through hell and back in the midsts of a divorce. Interesting thing is, I saw this movie shortly after seeing Silver Linings Playbook, and while they deal with similar topics, there really is no comparison. Silver Linings Playbook was way better. That aside, Rid of Me had some of good things about it, but more not so good things, which is why I did not give it the highest rating. Matter of fact, I am told I am being too generous! Boo hiss, I still did like the movie, which is why I gave it above a 5. The movie certainly is not for everyone. There's some rough, sickening childishness and bullying that is tough to swallow. What I loved about the movie, though, was that it made me really think about our behavior as people, how we treat others, impressions, making an impact, changing for the better. Getting through the materialistic, shallow, terrible crap that life throws at you. And I thoroughly enjoyed the filming structure - meaning the angles, the location - like a scene where the character was wearing 4 different outfits and it just blended well with that particular part of the plot. To boot, this movie was filmed in my stomping grounds, Oregon. :)
