Alain E @AlainE Jul 16, 2026 Minimally interesting to the average person. Maybe these people exist, but what we gain examining their behavior. In the opening scene the boyfriend kicks the girl out of the house because she wants to go alone to some Jewish family to celebrate Shabbat. Does it make sense? When I was married to my Catholic wife I was supposed to become violent every time she was going to Mass?

The randomness of familiarity that only happens in nyc . I really liked this film. See more Jul 5, 2018 Soft in the Head is creative in its cinematography and writing, but I could not get past the bitterly unsympathetic portrayal of the main character. We are shown how horrible she is repeatedly, but never really understand why. It almost feels as if the director/writer is angry with her, even with the title of the movie. She exists not so much for her own life but to mess up the lives of others. See more Jun 18, 2015 Nathan Silver creates a fully realized chaotic, messy and unpredictable world that all but comes totally unhinged. Although the intention seems unfocused, he approaches his two primary characters in such with such steadfast commitment that lack of narrative focus actually ends up being an asset. The movie is reminiscent of a 1970's rambling experimental film. The difference is is that the whole film is so well contained. An unexpected and riveting study of madness that is only silenced in the film's final moments. See more Read all reviews
