Me Without You

Michele Williams, Anna Friel

This film traces the troublesome relationship between two young women, from pre-teen solidarity to contentious young adulthood. AF was seriously messed up and continually undermined MW's character for neurotically selfish reasons. MW was sweet, passive, intimidated and dominated by her 'friend.'

Well played and shot but very aggravating to watch. I kept wishing MW would speak up for herself, be a bit more assertive...but that would be a different film. Realistic, courageous performances by both leads; they were willing to look scuzzy and act badly. Credit to them but no fun to watch.
