This is not a professionally made film. The acting, the direction, the story, the script, the lighting — everything is just a mess.
There is an underlying condemnation of the use of drugs (which seem to initiate much of the trouble in this odd story) but I suspect you would need to be on something to get much out of this incoherent jumble of sound and images.
It is hard to think that The Stepmother was ever released and shown in mainstream cinemas and quite astounding that it got an Oscar nomination; it seems little more than random that the theme song is quite sweet.
At least aspiring film-makers can watch it and feel they could do a much better job.
