What I liked
Veronica’s performance was spot-on: hilarious, desperate, knowing, unhinged, dangerous, and honest. She created a sense of chaos around her—flinging cookie dough every which way, throwing clothes around all over the floor—and it all echoed her state of mind. The narrative flow, directed to a friend over a phone, or to herself and the audience, all worked and felt believable. The rise and fall of her emotional state kept the audience on edge. Also liked how the knowledge of who this neighbor really was crept in piece by piece without any dramatic revelations.
What I didn't like
The very ending felt abrupt, and maybe wasn’t the best choice of dialogue. It’s ambiguous, which is fine, and Veronica’s mood changed quickly when she was confronted at last, but it seemed there could be a more appropriate conclusion that followed the line of the story. Maybe just a different bit of dialog. I don’t know.
My overall impression
Funny and smart. It has a rawness that speaks to the subject matter of women displaced by society, literally dying to find a way to be seen.
