Lot Essay

'... in A Vicious Undertow (2007), he [Just] hints at much but reveals little. The film depicts a complex three-way relationship between a middle-aged woman (also played by Hansen), a younger woman and a man, but we are left to draw our own conclusions as to how the situation began and to where it may evolve Just's depiction of an older woman exploring ideas of sexuality is a refreshing one, with Hansen's striking performance highlighting how rarely middle-aged women are portrayed in positions of sexual power.'
