Concussion Directed by Stacie Passon - Review

I have such mixed feelings about this film. The cinematography was nice, the depth of focus kept changing throughout the whole film until the ending which really added to the foggy view of reality Abby had from her concussion in the very beginning of the film. The story was entertaining most of the time but didn't really seem to represent a realistic version of the middle aged housewife's struggle. It made it seem as if the swingers lifestyle is a common one that is shared by every gay/lesbian person. Literally every character aside from Kate are unfaithful, cheating, adulterating scum. It did manage to keep me engaged throughout most of the running time but the ending was so disappointing because there was what felt like an hour of buildup to a fizzled out conclusion instead of a bang. At one point during the movie, Abby had to kiss this fat gross looking abomination of a human being on both sets of lips and I nearly stabbed my eyes out. I don't know how much she made from this film but she probably deserved more just for that one scene alone.
