At some point, I’ll need to rewatch this film because I thought that the killer was not as important as the process: ambiguity of the character (delusional vs telling the truth-institutional victimization of people with mental disability history), victim blaming (alcoholic, crazy, etc-commentary on institutional devaluation of woman as witness), a man hunt for the crazy woman instead of the killer (commentary on institutional view of women as threat), but most interesting to me, the way that the main character used these gender disadvantages to her advantage (ex. caring for an elderly male parent, appearing like a teenage girl going home) & kept spinning different tales quite easily & effortlessly to advance her agenda, which seemed overwhelmingly unrealistic since she isn’t Liam Neeson or Bourne with the training to adjust to any situation; yet somehow it was believable if you didn’t overthink it. Is Gone about how unreliable traditional institutions are and only through self reliance and willingness to constantly subvert the narrative & creating her own can a woman escape victimization? Or a popcorn movie using feminist overtones to elevate the traditional girl in jeopardy movie?
