In the Cut (2003)
Love this film to death!
This is my first review on IMDb and I've chosen In the Cut because I think it's simply the most underrated film ever made. The perspicacious manner in which the characters subtly squirm into their respective roles is scintillating. This film is sexy and its dark and quintessentially so. I love Mark Ruffalo, he's almost seedy to the point of criminality yet is able to encapsulate a determined sexual energy that he superimposes upon the frigidity of Meg Ryan - who is gorgeous in this, if nothing else she's real and vulnerable, a great performance. Don't expect this film to create the perfect theatrical arc, it won't. Allow the atmosphere of unsettling mystery and damaged persona into your thinking and this becomes a dark portrayal of sexual frustration, licentiousness and fear. It's all about the frailty of the human condition. This is Campion at her best.
