CGiii Comment

After reading the blurb...you would be forgiven into thinking that this sounds like an interesting documentary...

A few minutes into the film...you soon realise how misleading 'blurb' can be.

Countless skyscapes, treescapes, every bloody 'scape' you can imagine...none of which are particularly well-filmed.

Cut these 'scenes' out and you would be left with a very dreary 25 minutes.

The other troubling fact is that the 'director' also has a 'screenplay' credit...for a documentary?!?

It's one of those films that anyone - with a cheap camera - could have made...no artistry, nothing cinematic...and, however harsh this may sound...it's more tedious than tedium itself.

The(ir) Blurb...

At the age of 16 Ana was locked up in a psychiatric hospital by her parents who arranged the treatment for curing her homosexuality with the hospital director. After five years she is free and longs for a girl who won't find her crazy because of her PTSD condition. She finds one in her new love Martina. They get engaged and plan their wedding. However, Martina's huge patience and devotion wanes with time as she finds Ana more obsessed with her traumatic past than with the life they're sharing together. 'Sick' is a film about love, betrayal, revenge, and forgiveness.
