A Headless Woman

Sometimes it is refreshing to see a subtle film. A Headless Woman demands a deep performance from the lead actress by basing a feature length film around the effects of a 10 second event. The additional characters accent the experience of said event, but with remarkable and unspoken loyalty. The silent malaise of the main character works to curb any dramatization of the categorically terrible event so as not to distract from the more deep rooted emotions that become more and more evident as the film progresses. A Headless Woman works as an interesting character study over a case study, and should be watched without distraction.
