In a film characterized by a current of tension coursing through most scenes, a quiet moment between two sisters discussing sex, desire, and going out with men "just for the exercise."
In The Cut is the BEST.
Agree. I can't believe some of the bad reviews I'm reading from 2003.
oh yeah. the reviews from when it was released are atrocious. I did a thread of some of its reappraisals a few years ago (https://x.com/oldfilmsflicker/status/1466878163405975554) and also wrote about it for Letterboxd (https://letterboxd.com/journal/ladies-of-the-noir/). I'm so glad this film has been reclaimed.
Excellent pieces. Thanks so much for your writing and roundup of everyone's thoughts! I hope Jane, Susanna and Meg revisit it in a discussion soon.
