PUNQ

Rated 23 Nov 2013

Took a while before got interesting, when her man gets put in jail and she waits for him deteriorating gradually with psychological breakdowns and a drunken lifestyle. This role gave her the chance to experiment with her aging. By this point in her career she was already middle-aged, and she was always more of a personality then a beauty as a actress, so the downfall wasn't all that hard for her to do. It's a decent piece which comes nicely together for the climax.
