At 1 point it seems like this indie may b going 4 a metaphor on the exploitation of minorities, but no, nothing that high-minded. At its core this is an overheated romance where we're asked 2 care 4 characters who behave in extreme & unpredictable ways, but we're given no satisfying understanding as 2 why. Farmiga, a good actress, is mostly cowed by her husband's family throughout & an immigrant falls in love: neither 4 any discernible reason. A character study w/out the study.
