This movie is not about some old issues of seventies society. Though it is very painful to watch, it struck me from the first minute and I think lot of people will find many similarities with their own lives. The movie is about a daughter of Narcissist parents. Their opinion is all that matters and they keep interfering with the life of their daughter who is simply trying to escape from the net around her. She does not have the strength as her sister did in the past, to leave the house prison of her family and maybe she does not understand how harm they have done. As narciccists the parents have send contradicted messages to their daughter from the day she was born. So the victim can not realize she is not loved by them. They dont show any empathy at all. Love and the relationship with a young artist was her only glimpse of hope in her life but it never had a really chance actually. The Mother seems like she has done all right and the best for her daughter, keeps talking without listening at all and persuades all others to not see what is really happening, even the psychiatrists. Society thinks that mother and father because of their role and status can not harm their children. That is the real core of the problem. Public opinion gives some sort of immunity to parents though some questions from the first doctor who realized what was happening could solve the problem. But then he gets fired. The psychiatric isssue here is that the parents are narcissists and that is what really caused the problem and where the medical intervention should start.
