"Motion" Sickness

LUMINOUS MOTION (2000) 1/2 * Deborah Kara Unger, Eric Lloyd, Jamey Sheridan, Terry Kinney. Incredibly lethargic and horribly directed/acted/writtenadaptation of a novel by Scott Bradfield about boozy, irresponsible Unger as a mother of maddeningly pretentious 10 year old Lloydand their aimless road trip to nowhereseville that lacks anycohesion. Avoid this at all costs.

hardluck mom is a subplot to childhood mental illness

I didn't get it. I rewound the last ten minutes and tried to come to some conclusion with this movie, but to no avail. The best I could figure was that the kid was was clinically delusional, with a dose of mommy separation complex thrown in. We know there are some dead people in this movie, but the director creates so much intentional confusion, you really don't know what's going on towards the end. You come away agreeing with the girl who says "you may need some professional help" but don't really know towards the end if it ever arrived. The weird part with the father seems to be an illusion in reverse as the film goes along. I can say watching this movie didn't add anything meaningful to my day. Cannot imagine how strange it must have been for Lloyd to act in this psycho-drama.
