Proxy (2014)

Starring: Alexa Havins, Alexia Rasmussen, Joe Swanberg, Kristina Klebe
Director: Zack Paker

Premise:
A pregnant woman is attacked and loses her baby. To help cope, she attends a support group and becomes a bit too attached to a woman who has her own secrets. This causes each of them and their significant other down a path one can never return.

My Take:
The writer/director often focuses on the every day people do to each other. This movie is really no different. The four main characters all have some psychological damage and secrets which causes several shocking moments. This is a bleak, yet captivating film.

Rating: So Good
