Running with Scissors / USA / 2006

A film that succeeds almost soley (and barely) on character and performance, Ryan Murphy’s Running with Scissors is nonetheless dark and entertaining—as entertaining as a movie about mental illness and pedophilia can be, that is. And while Annette Bening has recieved the most praise as Augusten Burrough’s troubled mother (analyzing her psychosis is a task in itself), this film belongs to Jill Clayburgh. As Agnes Finch, she radiates compassion, longing, and kindness, and together, her scenes with Augusten permeate through the otherwise chaotic storyline.
