DVD Review: The Patron Saint of Liars
Summary: 2 Stars
This was a well-acted movie about an incredibly selfish woman who leaves her husband because she doesn't love him and drives halfway across the country to a home for unwed mothers with the intention of giving her baby up for adoption. There she meets a man she can tolerate, maybe because he doesn't expect anything tangible from her, other than her physical presence. She decides to keep her baby and marry Son. He first accepts her obsessive secrecy about her past, when she is unwilling to divulge anything about herself to him, and then accepts her further withdrawal from both him and her daughter, when she moves back into the original house in which they lived, and leaves the two of them in the large house they inherited. Throughout the movie, she sends letters home to her mother, postmarked from different parts of the country so her hideout would not be revealed, and her past would not catch up to her and reveal her as a bigamist, another secret she keeps from her new husband. The coldness and selfishness of this woman was almost unbearable to sit through, and it is even harder to forgive her because she has had no traumatic experience in her life to legitimize her self-centered behavior. She abandons her daughter and husband when she realizes her first husband has found her location, and sleeps soundly in a motel while her car is broken into right outside her door, obviously unfettered by any trace of guilt. She seems more upset at the vandalism than any pain she might have caused her family. At the end of the movie, the magical healing spring flows suddenly upon her return to her daughter and second husband, suggesting a miracle occurred. I have to agree that it would take divine intervention to change a person who put her own agenda ahead of everyone else, including her child, for her entire lifetime. This was a very depressing story for anyone with a conscience.
