Danika (2006) 7/10

Starring : Marisa Tomei, Craig Bierko, Regina Hall, Nicki Prian, Ridge Canipe, Bailey Hughes
Director : Ariel Vromen
Running Time : 79 mins

Danika Merrick (Tomei) starts to get worried when she starts to suffer from a nervous breakdown, and begins having delusions and hallucinations, imagining entire situations are occurring around her when they aren’t. She starts to see a psychiatrist, Dr Evelyn (Hall), who discovers that the breakdown began when Danika’s husband Randy (Bierko) had an affair with their nanny, but the real question is what is real and what is fantasy?

This was a very thought provoking movie, and it’s difficult to know what the real message of the movie was without talking to the writer / director, but no matter what you think the message of the movie is this can still be enjoyable as well as a good talking point as people argue over what really happened.

Well, you don't get to talk to the writer; the movie must stand on its own. And if you want a "message," read an email. Movies are meant to be experienced and considered as is. If you don't "get it," either the flaw is with the movie or with you as the viewer.
