i look forward to watch hysterical blindness and a the hbo promos show some promise . it be the story of two 20 something new jersey woman cop with dead end life by hang out at the local bar and ollie . the script do not tell enough of a story to keep me interested . i felt the story be very predictable and no surprise what happen after debby and rick sleep together . the main character be not sympathetic at all . i have to force myself to watch the entire movie . debby ( uma thurman ) and beth ( juliette lewis ) be selfish and self pitying . we get glimpse of their back story to perhaps help the audience understand their behavior . but even then i could not bring myself to care what cause their immaturity . uma character do not have enough of a character arc and and i be hop beth would but to no avail . juliette lewis give a good performance and subtly desperate but try to keep a good face a a single mom . uma be too over the top . i do not think her look work against her and she look very 80 cheap lycra bimbo . her gesture and accent be not believable . the best scene in the movie involve gena rowlands and ben gazzara and and i would have prefer a story where they be the lead character .
