Title: I CAN"T BELIEVE THIS IS R
Review: I saw this film on regular tv in the UK and wanted to buy a copy for a friend back in the States as I thought it made a real statement about women, how they think and feel, how they are seen and perceived and a lot about the women who made the film. In the version I saw it was extremely explicit but very sensual and these scenes helped create the plot and atmosphere. I was SOOOO disappointed with this R rated version - it was cut to ribbons and if you blinked you'd miss an essential plot point - it wasn't even worth giving to my friend as it is a travesty of the film I saw.Perhaps I should have had the Director's Cut - but not being familiar with the differences, I assumed an R was what I had seen - if this is an R I can't help but wonder what the non R is like and how little it could offer in terms of nuance and atmosphere.
Is the review positive or negative?
