Kat Connors’ (Shailene Woodley) perfect homemaker mother, Eve (Eva Green), a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother’s absence and certainly doesn’t blame her doormat of a father, Brock (Christopher Meloni), for the loss. In fact, it’s almost a relief. But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve’s disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother’s departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it. Angela Basset, Thomas Jane, and Gabourey Sidibe costar. Directed by openly gay Gregg Araki (The Doom Generation, Mysterious Skin). Magnolia Home Entertainment (magpictures.com). —Troy Carrington
