Unless you're prepared to be needlessly drowned in another woman's problems for nearly two hours, stay away.

I wish the movie itself had mood swings as wild as Mathilda's. Judd's depression is relentless.

"Helen" is a very heavy film. Heavier than Rosie O'Donnell at a Hometown Buffet.

Two hours of knife-wielding and shrieking later, nothing significant or profound is gleaned...

In roles that could have devolved into arias of melodrama, the cast never overplays its hand, fighting the omnipresent melancholy in small ways rather than large.

Product Description:
Filmmakers Joe Lawlor and Christine Molloy collaborate on this slow-burning mystery about a young loner named Helen (Annie Townsend), who becomes unexpectedly influenced by the persona of a missing girl after agreeing to assume her identity for a police reconstruction of the crime scene. The more Helen identifies with the girl police are searching for, the smaller the gaps in her own fractured life become.
