Faith, addiction and the abuse of power are at the heart of this dark, minimalist psychodrama about a crack-addicted prostitute and a young nun who get stuck on an elevator. One is going to, one is coming from, a meeting with a killer. In a seedy hotel, battered prostitute Leslie (Kirsty Hinchcliffe) flees the scene of a crime only to get trapped on the elevator with young Sister Amelia (Reagan Dale Neis). When no one responds to their cries for help, they reluctantly turn to each other. Leslie, who eventually breaks down and smokes crack on the elevator, goes from standoffish, to giddy, to ferociously hostile at the drop of a hat. The unlucky nun learns more than she wants to know about the violent crime Leslie has just perpetrated. Tensions mount as Leslie pries into Sister Amelia's private affairs and they discover a shared secret that binds them forever in a macabre and surreal plot involving a talking handbag and a Catholic bishop (Sam Anderson). It's a dark, hallucinatory ride into the tortured soul of a girl sliding inexorably toward destruction. Writer/director Bryan Root has packed powerful performances, harrowing plot twists and a pinch of titillating mischief into a consummate cult masterpiece. e7e Written by Anonymous
