Review title: there's nothing Melancholy about this movie
Product review: Melancholy and depressed are not the same thing. Melancholy is like depression, in that its a kind of sadness, except it's a sadness that doesn't hurt. It's a sadness that hugs you like a blanket.This film is about a character whose depression is physically crippling her, which I didn't realize could/does happen, but the learning of that is the only thing this film offers. It does not relate to the viewer the feelings that the lead character feels, it just shows how everything & everyone around her is let down by her condition.I wanted melancholy. I didn't get it. If you're a survivor of this disease or know someone who has/had it, then maybe this film will be either a stunning memory revisited or a way to bond with your loved one(s).The acting was good, cinematography was appropriately gloomy. Chock it up to poor marketing, but either way, someone involved in this movie made a mistake (or two...).
