I had never even heard of this film before, but I was scrolling Netflix and it came up. I saw Gwyneth, I saw "1998", I saw thriller ... so I checked it out.

That wasn't such a good idea. It's a run-of-the-mill crazy parent thriller, though it feels made-for-TV. It is a film that fits well with the idea of 'a tale of two actresses'. Gwyneth is young and anorexic, but she's gorgeous and you can feel her star quality. She's just a much, much better actress than Jessica Lange, who is atrocious. She is almost irritating to watch, like fingernails on a chalk board. I've always liked Lange for the King Kong and Cape Fear remakes, but here she is embarrassing.

It also has a rather weak ending. The necklace should have had a more prominent reveal, and Lange should have died or at least been involved in a dangerous duel or chase sequence, but it just ends on a low-key note with an argument.
