"LSD trips, sexual tension, damaged characters, toxic marriage, hallucinations, and violent outbursts... This film introduced a bunch of ideas and went nowhere with most of them. The premise of the film does not stay throughout. There seems to be little motivation for our protagonist's actions. I did appreciate a couple bits of surrealism, but they were few and far between and did not reach the heights they could have. The script awkwardly attempts to meld themes of motherhood and longing for a role as a mother with the longing for sexual companionship. This was just a waste of an interesting concept."

"This one was a trip in the best way. Shudder movies are really impressing me."
