Asia Argento is a courageous actress with a strong point of view. She does a Courtney Love in this experimental, uneven tale of abuse and neglect and extracts good performances from her supporting cast who include Peter Fonda and Marilyn Manson. Her young son is the victim here, a messed up boy who is witness to his mother's (Argento) tricking, drug abuse, domestic conflict, and numerous meltdowns. The film presents a hopeless situation and stays with it as it spirals downwards. The visual style is nothing original and the editing is inspired by music videos. The performances are the best reason to see it. Personally, I would have liked to see the truck stop hooking sequence expanded. It was the most interesting. Argento herself is totally convincing as a woman who's lost control of her life.
