Episode 073: In The Cut (2003)

“In The Cut” is the most maligned film from this year’s Oscar darling Campion. A dreamy paranoid feminist subversion of the erotic crime thriller full of edgy unique performances from all its stars.

Directed by Jane Campion. Screenplay by Jane Campion & Susanna Moore. Starring Meg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Jason-Leigh, Kevin Bacon, Nick Damici, Patrice O’Neal & Sharrieff Pugh

How is the world wrong about In The Cut

From Bryan Connolly: Nobody liked this when it came out, turned off by America’s darling Meg Ryan getting down and dirty. She gives a raw performance here that is hands down one of her best. Ruffalo has never been better, fully immersed as a complex cop. Difficult characters in a difficult film. I love it.
