Hysterical Blindness [Region 2] description Uma Thurman is painful to watch in Hysterical Blindness--and that's a compliment. Thurman completely gives herself over to her trashy character, a pathetically self-deluding good-time girl who hangs out in a tavern in Bayonne, New Jersey, circa 1987. She occupies the bar stool next to her best bud (a dead-on Juliette Lewis), willing herself to believe that an obviously indifferent pick-up is Mr. Right. Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) directed this familiar but nicely-rendered HBO production; her visual style, full of obscured sightlines and opaque glass, emphasizes the heroine's inability to see clearly. Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara, as Thurman's mom and her gentleman suitor, add an echo of Cassavetes realism. But it's Thurman's tour de force, capturing the kind of lost soul whose idea of first-date chat is to break an awkward silence by boasting about her best sexual skill. She will make you cringe. --Robert Horton Hysterical Blindness [Region 2] Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ A demanding role nailed! I cannot say enough about the performances of Thurman and Lewis in this wonderful character study set in the late 1980s. Thurman nailed her character -- a lonely working girl who spent her nights in a bar looking for love. I ached to hear her struggle to connect on any level with the guy who took her home for nothing more than sex on his living room floor. In desperation to hang onto this man, Thurman heartbreakingly begs to make him breakfast, which he refuses, then asks to make him a dinner of fillet mignon. Lewis is pefect as the too-young mother whose sense of socializing is stalled at age 16. Kudos to the make-up and stylists, too. The raccoon-smudged eyeliner and stringy hair punctuated by overcurled bangs was perfect. Thurman and Lewis are two very gifted actors   1     2     3   Non User
