Landing Up

This movie is not what I expected. Besides being better than I thought it was going to be; the story took a different angle than I guessed. Desperation can cause us to make decisions we are not proud of. We all hide things we are ashamed of. You can't run away from yourself forever.

There are lots of sex scenes in this movie, but not the kind that are a turn-on to watch. Mostly it is the lead being treated badly. Even the guy who is interested in her legitimately seems mostly in it for the sex. She did give him one turn of phrase that helped him win an ad campaign, but other that that, a lot of the conversation between them is strained. She tries to keep it secret that she is homeless, but in the tragic end, the truth comes out. This most shocking part is how low she goes to get an apartment to impress her guy that she has a place of her own. That said, I really appreciate this film. It was well acted, and seemed true to the portrayal of a real character.
