What's the missing piece of this perverse story? Part Sebastian and Violet, Suddenly Last Winter, hitting Mexico, part Lolita with a gender twist. All messed-up. In the inevitable film, what is the actual content of the mother-son scenes here? What was this woman's fantasy version of the best possible outcome? A nice vacation, and then -- then what? Does she feel she alone understands this entitled man-child's value? Partying? "My boy knows how to have a good time! So what!" What is it? That' she's both defending and fiercely protecting, to the point of destroying both lives? That makes her believe consequences are so irrelevant? We're missing some critical component, and it's both icky and maddening.
