In Lucrecia Martel's The Headless Woman, an upper-middle class woman hits something with her car and drives off, a reaction brilliantly played by María Onetto who then spends the rest of the film in a kind of shell-shocked state, barely saying a word so that ambiguity reigns supreme. It was a dog, surely, but does she even remember the incident. Was it a child as the film and eventually Onetto's Vero asks? And if it was, will she get away with it - therefore pointing an accusing finger at privilege - or will guilt get the better of her? Martel keeps the audience in perpetual askance, following emotional red herrings that perhaps we ourselves imagined. The woman's point of view is very well represented by strange shots and odd sounds that evoke the accident, often cutting Vero's head off through directorial choices. I'm also intrigued by possible references to decapitated women in myth and history, whether Medusa or Marie-Antoinette. There's fertile ground for interpretation there as well. But whether there's cleverness there, this is all about the acting and the way the camera can create a headspace for the performance to sing.Ebbywebby
About halfway through the film, I started imagining Kellyanne Conway in the central role and had a hard time letting go of this.garvey
It is definitely movie not easy to understand. It's seems to be something mystical. But actually it is about society and politics. Just pay attention to the fact that main character and her friends and relatives are white (OK, Latinos) while killed boy is from native South American family.Shingwauk
It felt like I was spending an hour and a half with someone I didn't know or like very much but just couldn't leave.few visible scars
In 'The Good old days' (ie a few months ago), you used to be able to go to message boards on IMDb and ask "Eh? What was that about, what happened?", and, hidden amongst the "You are too stupid to be worth an answer, go away and watch Transformers'' and other abusive replies, some one may give a reply that helped.. Sadly no longer an option, so I'm afraid .. I remain puzzled.-1flb2-
It was hard to connect with this movie. It was definitely a dog, but the uncertainly leaves the viewer as the protagonist wondering for sure. I checked the date of this movie thinking it was made in the 80's. I watched it, but wouldn't watch it again. Never created enough tension.Windill
I must admit I gave up after 25 minutes...Did I miss something?

Absolutely strange...challenges the viewer's dependency on a structure and scenes which carry the plot forward- this is film is the opposite of that. We experience the protagonist's hazy view of the world and it is extremely confusing. I'm not sure if I can assess it- it just is.greenhorg
*Aargh* Unbearable.
