Waking Madison (2010): A woman suffering from multiple personality disorder tries to piece back together her life. (5.6)
Director: Katherine Brooks
Writer: Katherine Brooks
Stars: Elisabeth Shue, Imogen Poots and Sarah Roemer
There are those movies that you 'feel' are great even before you finish the first half. This isn't one of them. This is, however, a movie with an excellent story you think about afterwards; after everything has been said and done. That's the problem. This one strings you along way too long, seemingly jumping back and forth between time periods. The key to the puzzle only comes way closer to the end. Acting is good by the whole cast. The dialog, at certain places, could have used some help. Too bad that I tend to compare Angelina Jolie's acting in 'Girl Interrupted' whenever I see a strong female mental patient character. The set design is psychedelic and haunting at times. Maybe I might give this a second look, now knowing the storyline twists. My Rating: 6.5
