Carol White (Julianne Moore) is a mousy housewife living the affluent life in the San Fernando Valley when, over the span of a few months, she begins to develop debilitating sensitivities to her environment. A permanent at the hair salon makes her nose bleed and her skin go bad, exhaust from a truck causes her to cough violently, she's allergic to the new couch, goes into seizures at the dry cleaner's. No one understands or credits her condition, least of all her husband or family physician. But the symptoms worsen, and Carol eventually discovers others who suffer from similar environmental illnesses. She checks into a desert spa that caters to those in her predicament, and the staff regales her with touchy-feely, infomercial-style affirmations. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

If Julianne Moore is great at anything, it's playing a sick person. Here, the film itself also greatly aids her, with its peculiar poetics that are inherently somewhat sickly. You'll feel like you're sinking into somewhere unfamiliar, somewhere you don't know and probably don't even want to recognize. A powerful experience, but one that may not suit everyone.
