The Guitar is a story about a woman who has marginalized herself for several years in a dead-end job, a relationship with a dead-end boyfriend, and a diagnosis of terminal cancer within a few months. You might say it was a bad hair day. The film is brutally honest in several scenes (but not the poster, which implies the lead woman is shapely like the guitar, but is actually a very skinny girl.
Saffron does a great job with her role, and while not the most socially conscious person on the planet (she throws her garbage out the window), is at least open to completely changing her life and living it as if every day could be her last (and with her diagnosis, it could be). I liked the pizza girl, and the black delivery guy has also done some very good work as a hit man in a previous film. The film smacks of authentic behavior under extreme circumstances. Check it out.
