Review: What a complete load of rubbish! With a name like Obsessed and a cast with James Franco and Winona Ryder, I was expecting something interesting and entertaining, but this was really bad. Most of the film was set on stage with Winona Ryder directing a play, which was really bad, and on top of that, you've got Winona Ryder narrating the whole story. I really can't see what the director was trying to achieve with this film because there isn't much point to it. I can understand the twist which comes out at the end, but by that time I deliberately made myself busy so I could get through the annoying pile of rubbish. The stupid piano that's going through the whole movie is really annoying and the mood if depressing. Just stay away from the film!Round-Up: I darn see why the hell James Franco and Winona Ryder agreed to doing this film because the script is appalling. Maybe they were just paying bills. Ever since Winona Ryder got caught thieving, her career has gone from bad to worse, and this movie isn't going to so her any favours. She's need a film like Beetlejuice 2 to bring her our of the dark. As for James Franco, I always knew that he does quirky movies, but I really can't see why he would want this film on his filmography. Anyway, I really can't find anything good to say about this film because there is nothing interesting or entertaining about it. Budget: $10million (Waste Of Money!) Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie anyone that wants to get bored to death. 1/10

I rented this movie because initially I was a fan of James Franco... I did not even know what it was about nor did I care much because if it was a thriller with him, it's good enough for me to see in my down time. Now, enough about me... The movie itself; I feel like it is completely underrated, thus the review... The acting by the characters, I thought was amazing... The plot was simplistic at its best, in my viewpoint... there could have been two variations of what occurred; either Winona's character was honestly just bored with life in general and had hidden desires for Franco and thus created a world where all those familiar to her and she trusted had wronged her to give her an excuse to "take" action on her deeper feelings for this new man (the attempt to "kiss") OR her boyfriend was just a dirt bag who was wronging her from the very beginning. I found the story and the filming extremely interesting and refreshing in the sense that it really made you dive deep and think into the psychology of each character. Every point in the movie had indications leading you further into thinking more deeply. The bottom line as I saw it is that it's easy to see the main character as a psychotic and to "imagine" everything going on, it's a harder thought to see it is as the main character coming to terms with the fact that everyone around her is betraying her and thus her changing the script and using the "play" as her tool to deal with the actual reality that her boyfriend is cheating on her and that everyone around her knows it. I think just as in life, this movie tries to express that point; while things are clear to others, they make not be as clear to us as individuals who are invested. In a last note, I believe it is extremely difficult to attempt to film a movie in a first person narrative, so I completely applaud this one... It made me think and I enjoyed it, there should be more pieces like this.

I read the IMDb description of the movie and obviously the one who wrote it either didn't watch or didn't understood what the movie is about. Martin was never a playwright *no spoiling* but come on..is that the top of your understanding ? do not watch this film if you can't think or don't want to, it will be a waste of time for those who never knew what real theater is all about. when seeing this movie I felt at first sorry for Winona Ryder, it seems that she brings her confusion to the stage, it took me a while to understand what is going on and why it's like that. in that the director did an excellent job for I thought I have a problem in connecting the plot when actually Martin faced the same problem. Amazing film and one of a kind!

This was by far the worst movie I have ever seen. I can't believe that I wasted 5 dollars on this movie. I kept waiting for the movie to get better and it never did. Absolutely nothing went on in the movie. Rider just talks in a depressing voice about I don't what, because she was too depressing for me to continue listening. The only interesting part of the movie was the few seconds when the viewers found out that she was drugged and that was the end of the movie. All I know is that the main character, Winona, was the director of a play with 4 characters, one of which is her boyfriend. At one point, the main character accuses her boyfriend of putting copper in his gym bag, he denies it and they go back and forth about it for a few seconds and the whole thing is dropped. And it's never followed up, unless, of course, I missed it. There are so many scenes like this that are never followed up, but I had to keep watching because I was hoping that it would get better.
