[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just watched this movie.  I found it all so….bizarre.  It wasn’t a complete waste of time, but I can see how many people would turn it off.  Many of the disjointed aspects have already been raised, but a few more:

-what was with the hitchhikers?  Was that supposed to show how much Leda enjoyed conversations with other adults?  Foretelling that she might leave her own daughters given she asked how the hitchhiker guy’s kids were doing?  Was she considering something romantic with the hitchhiker woman?  It was so.damn.strange.

-what was with the crazy conversation between Leda and Will when eating dinner together?  All the conversation about breasts?  Hers, and her daughters.  So random and totally off putting to discuss with a young man you barely know!  I was thinking, did I miss something in the movie so far to explain why this conversation would happen?

I thought the movie provided aspects of how difficult motherhood is and wanting to keep a sense of self, but the overall movie was so random that I am left reflecting on THAT/unanswered questions rather than the motherhood aspect.[/quote]

I don’t think the series was a statement just about her parenting. It was her parenting, her husband’s, her mother’s, the male hitchhiker’s, Nina’s, etc. it was to show no one had a perfecting parenting picture. I think leda used sex as a release (think of all the masturbation scenes, adultery, talking about sexual things. That’s why she was expressive with the female hitchhiker and talked openly with Will.
