intense
Marisa Tomei she is great in Danika. it's one of those psychological thrillers, so audience reaction will inevitably be so different, but Marisa Tomei plays in a gripping, and very good performance.
Every parent wants desperately to protect their family, especially children, so in this respect Danika is basically no different to any other wive or mother, All of a sudden, though, her life has taken a turn toward the surreal. She begins having awful visions which lead her to seek psychiatric help after what can only be described as a psychotic episode at work. Not only does she see awful things happening to her husband and kids, she also has psychic-like visions of other kids dying in horrible ways, and these things come about in such a way that she feels as if she could have saved them. This leads her to become ever more obsessive in terms of protecting her own family, and we all know how teens and pre-teens react to overprotective mothers. the story is surreal and sometimes confusing as the tension builds toward a pretty powerful conclusion.
As with all thrillers, the proof is ultimately in the ending. It is possible to figure out, what is really going on here - I picked up on it from the preview I don't think it matters much whether you figure things out on your own or not. The emotional power of the final minutes is not to be denied, and the whole movie leaves you with plenty to think about. It's the kind of ending that viewers will want to discuss with one another after the fact, and I think that is a sign of the story's ultimate effectiveness. ,some critics might find this film confusing so give it a bad review but I think the majority of viewers will find this movie intense well worth a watch -
