Barry Egan hasn't always had the easiest life being the only boy and having seven sisters who have harassed him his entire life. But now he has found true love which no one, not even himself, thought could possibly happen. But after being blackmailed by a phone sex operator, someone has endangered his girl and he won't let anything happen to her.

This is such a beautiful film and is a true credit to P.T. Anderson's vision. He has the strangest way of film making which makes the characters more believable and at the same time you are watching something resembling a fairy tale. Most people don't understand his films let alone this one, but truly brilliant piece of film.


Rating: 4 of 5 stars
