American Mary 2013

i love love love katherine isabelle so maybe i'm a bit biased regarding this movie. but i genuinely liked it. i didn't really know what to expect from the movie because i hadn't watched a trailer beforehand, i just watched it because of her. and i was pleasantly surprised.

the character of mary is loveable - at first she's appalled and shocked with this new world she's slipped into which is an undestandable reaction. as the movie progresses she's getting more and more cold-blooded but not in a 'evil' kinda way... she just learns to cope with all the stuff she sees in her own way.

the other characters she meets are diverse, unique and interesting - noone is really boring or predictable. and surprisingly noone is annoying either.

the music was great - i loved the 'ave maria' when she's working.

the only thing that 'bugged' me a bit was the impossibilty of saying how much time passed between two scenes/cerrtain events. it's nothing big, mostly you pick up through conversation if a lot of time has passed or not, so really nothing too confusing.

some people thought that the ending was a bit abrupt but i don't think so. i liked the ending just like it was because i couldn't imagine it any other way - some fairytale happy ending or her doing this illegal stuff for a long, long time would not be right for this movie, i would destroy the flow.

all in all a great movie with interesting characters, a unique story and a beautiful katherine isabelle.
