Carol (Julianne Moore) seems to have it all...wealthy husband , house in San Fernando, gym classes, lunches with friends, etc. Close observation, You'll notice how bland it all seems and how bored she looks through it all...check the scene where she is making whoopee with hubby!
Boredom becomes the least of her problems, as her health goes into the toilet for no discernible reason. The best that can be found is all the everyday chemicals we seem to take for granted MAY be responsible. She is sent to a retreat with fellow sufferers, but this may not be a better situation.
Film (set in 1987)is good, but very ambiguous...Possible Carol's illness could be a metaphor for AIDS, as she is clearly ill, but no luck in finding what or why. Kind of scary when You think of how many chemicals are around Us all day, every day. And truth to tell, the Retreat section of the film goes on too long. However, as usual, Julianne is great and nice also to see Jessica Harper (SUSPIRIA, PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE, PENNIES FROM HEAVEN) in a small role. ***
