Plot[edit]

The plot description is a good start but a lot of details need fleshing out. No mention of shoes or the content of the letters which are necessary to explain Charlie's weird obsession with India, apparently even as a baby who he never met. (I find this baffling and a weak point in the plot.) Also, there is no explanation why Richard kept the letters all those years, and it is further muddled who gave her the key to the drawer--it seems to be the same person (Richard or Charlie) who gave her shoes every birthday which is apparently Charlie (at one point she realizes it was Charlie and states that she thought it had been Richard) but that leaves the question of why (and how) Charlie got the key. 97.117.198.197 (talk) 10:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see some [non-original-research-y] exploration of this film's psychological undertheme(s). There are many hints that India's pathology closely resembles Charlie's (illustrated by clear visual parallels of his time in the institution, among others). Similarly, India's moments of silence, interspersed with India-hunting-with-Dad scenes, seem to telegraph a deliberately-biding-and-stalking vibe (notably when she views/interacts with Charlie). I'll maybe take a stab at this in the next couple of days, but I could use some help. The plot description, though not inaccurate, reads as flat and lacking this psychological "something."

"Intimate"[edit]

"Charlie and Evelyn grow closer and intimate..."; "...and later witnesses Evelyn and Charlie growing intimate"; "They grow close to intimate..." I assume these are examples of the increasingly prevalent use of "intimate" as a particularly twee and ghastly euphemism for fucking. Can we stop this, please?

Horror or not?[edit]

Can we remove all elements saying that this is a horror film?81.101.15.25 (talk) 08:10, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How come you think it isn't?Halbared (talk) 10:17, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It appears sourced as horror, and listed as such at places such as Rotten Tomatoes. Please read horror film for an understanding of the genre, one does not need supernatural beings/monsters to qualify as horror.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:27, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
