Women in Trouble

When I was working at the Chicago International Film Festival this past October, there were a lot of movies that looked really good, that I was sadly just unable to see. Women in Trouble was one of them. I am really happy that I finally got a chance to see it. It was written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez and had a wonderful ensemble cast.

Several women (and one girl) in L.A. are hiding something from someone else, or discovering something hidden from them. Maxine (Sarah Clark), a therapist, discovers her husband (Simon Baker) cheating on her with the mother of Charlotte (Isabella Gutierrez), a 13-year old patient. Addy (the other women, Caitlin Keats) and her sister Doris (Connie Britton) have withheld from the girl the truth about her parentage. Holly (Adrianne Palicki), and adult film actor, isn't telling her friend Bambi (Emmanuelle Chriqui) how she feels about her, and another actor, Elektra (Carla Gugino), who discovers she's pregnant, hasn't told the baby's father (Josh Brolin) that she loves him. A stuck elevator, a car crash, mid-air turbulence, a flight attendant, a shotgun-wielding bartender, and her roommate, who's a masseuse, help the women communicate. 

This film is definitely a must-see!
