Running With Scissors

...är särskilt intressant för de som gillar Nip/Tuck eller de som vill ha sina komedifamiljer kraftigt dysfunktionella.

The surreality is distancing, but authentic, believable performances and a low-key affect keep Running From Scissors from turning shrill.

Annette Bening, having made a specialty of high-strung, neurotic women in Being Julia, American Beauty and HBO's Mrs. Harris, is dead-on casting as wanna-be poet Deirdre Burroughs...

...Bening excels as the movie’s driving force, and as you watch her character go from doting to deranged you can see why there’s Oscar buzz (and a Golden Globe nod) for her nuanced performance.
