Everyone can relate to that crushing blow of betrayal, especially when it comes from someone
you’ve fallen in love with. We’ve all sat there concocting wonderfully heinous forms of revenge
that leave our betrayers sobbing and begging forgiveness…or perhaps that’s just me.
Priya Giga has expertly crafted a story of such devious betrayal and a delicious revenge that is
not only fitting, but eloquently done. Even the film’s title leaves you thinking “Aw, what a lovely
name” until you realize a Lily of the Valley flower is quite poisonous.
The film’s stars Fernanda Lippi and Laura Glaser did an amazing job with their characters. The
multi-layered performances were believable and organic. You embarked on a journey with them,
finding yourself at the edge of your seat to see what was going to happen next. The director,
Gary Grant, really understood how to bring out the nuances in Fernanda and Laura’s
performances and keep the audience in suspense.
Some incredible cinematography by Bruce Melhuish rounds out his very clever film. Creatively
finding ways to do a gallery showing without putting large framed photographs on the walls but
using flashes of the still photos instead. Ingenious!
I don’t want to give too much away but the payoff at the end left me wanting to give Fernanda a
standing ovation. Sensational film all around and the music was perfectly chosen.
