Boxing Helena (1993)
7/10
Instant Cult Classic
3 April 2001
I agree with other viewers that the contrived ending is weak. The entire movie is swiss cheese, but it has all the elements of a cult classic: The twisted concept, The Box, the blatant symbolism, Julian Sands and Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn.... PLUS David Lynch's daughter directing? What more could you want?

Frankly, I was fascinated with Sherilyn's character. She retains her superiority and strength under the absolute worst conditions. She is a role model for readers of "Women Who Love Too Much" and other such drivel. And the campy camera shots of Venus De Milo were great!

If you like cult films, add this one to your list. I believe it will even get better with time. I give it a 7 out of 10 on my Cult Classics scale.
