Essentially this is Fatal Attraction with the gender perspective reversed, which may constitute some sort of progress but hardly obviates the castration anxiety at the root of the story.

So no, it's not a sly, dark, romantic deadpan comedy after all. It's dark all right - but it looks more like a train than a light at the end of the tunnel.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 1, 2017

Normally, I'm eager for a story about a woman humiliating herself for love, but the tone of this fanciful film at times struck me as all wrong.

There's not much in the way of bruising insight into the makeup of a deteriorating personality, but for a compact spin through well-trod fields of lustful, sad-mad blindness, "Thirst Street" has its share of disreputably perverse pleasures.

Lindsay Burdge's intrepid performance as a woman unable to let go of a one-night stand galvanizes Nathan Silver's sharply stylized character study.

Burdge holds the picture together, playing a character who walks a fine line between being sympathetically damaged and terrifyingly loony.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 20, 2017

The result is a slow-motion car crash that you intimately experience from both in and outside the car. There's just enough distance to allow for wisdom but not enough so as not to feel the impact.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 20, 2017

Though both Ms. Burdge and Mr. Bonnard offer vulnerably world-weary performances, Mr. Silver has made a movie about obsession that never delves deeper than infatuation.

It's one of those movies that starts uncomfortably close to a character and then drills down deeper, and star Lindsay Burdge is more than up to the challenge, crafting a performance that's all of a piece with the film.

It's a testament to Nathan Silver's keen sense of observation that we don't want the film to turn decisively into thriller terrain.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 25, 2017

Burdge infuses her rigidly and scantly defined role with tremulous vulnerability, and Silver, aided by the splashy palette of Sean Price Williams's cinematography, evokes derangement with a sardonic wink.

While Burdge's dogged commitment to the role commands admiration, Gina's obtuse, masochistic behavior keeps us from investing in her as a character spiraling out of control.
