CGiii Comment
Labeled as moralistic, sexist, and homophobic - it is all these things and more...
It is a dark and bleak film with no respite - making it a somewhat tedious journey.
The final 15 minutes are bizarre - and, unlike the previous 2 hours, disturbing and very offensive to those of a sensitive nature.
Ultimately, this will leave you feeling colder than a witch's tit.
It is an interesting look at the emancipation of women - surely, it wasn't that unpalatable!?!

The(ir) Blurb...
Theresa is a successful teacher of deaf children during the day but after a short unhappy affair starts to spend her nights cruising bars. Her craving first for sex but later also for drugs leads into increasingly demeaning and dangerous situations at odds with her daytime commitment to her children.
