Reviews
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
CookieInvent There's a good chance the film will make you laugh out loud, but if it doesn't, there's an even better chance it will make you openly sob.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
HELLY HELLY Katya is window dresser for a big department store in Pittsburgh, her sensually erotic displays unintentionally attracts the curiosity of Jack; a handsome married serial stalker, who quickly develops an obsession and believes she is seducing him with her windows displays. Her resistance only seem to excite him more, as he becomes bolder and bolder watching her every move to the point of driving the poor woman to a nervous breakdown. But take heart Katya is not the victim for long, and sets out to even the score, the ending culminates with an exciting story climax. Be sure to watch this enthralling story it will make you think twist about who is watching you. I highly recommend it, as a guilty pleasure. Diane Lane performance is sumptuous,the characters are well define, and the story plot and dialogues are expertly written.
smatysia Diane Lane was so beautiful in this film. And her topless scenes here didn't hurt that a bit. Michael Woods was evil enough, and as I suspected, (confirmed by Imdb) he is James Woods' brother. Aside from this the movie was a thoroughly formulaic psycho stalker movie. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Lane's character at least got to be a strong woman type at the end and trap the stalker herself, rather than being merely the damsel in distress. This allowed her to flesh out the characterization and shows that she has some talent in addition to magnificent breasts. Also, somewhat refreshingly, the ending climax amounted to police apprehension of the villain, rather than the expected grisly death. An OK film, and a must for fans of Lane. Grade C+
Dano-45 The only reason to watch this movie is to see Diane Lane naked. There are 4 or 5 scenes where you, along with the stalker and her lover, get to see Diane's breasts and beautiful body. Basically the movie sucks! Diane's character is a sexually frustrated working woman who gets stalked by an admirer who is very disturbed. She has an erotic dreams about her work and bathes in her studio apt. with no shades. She gets bothered by the stalking and can't really have sex with anyone she's seeing. She almost does after stripping down for her lover, but can't quite do it. Oh, well. You still got to see this outstanding actress shed her clothes. That's the only reason to watch this one.
AnaBH A young woman trying to prove herself in the world of window dressing. Her very erotic imagination leads to great success and recognition in her career. Unfortunately, one of those observing her windows is an obsessed stalker. Through twists and turns this psychological thriller will keep one on the edge of his seat and possibly even aroused.
