This means she is the very exacting “Mother,” Tilda the much-disciplined “child,” and trousered Petula the visiting “doctor”-slash-“father.” One unshakable rule is “No One Leaves,” so when the interlopers attempt to escape, their status changes from “guest” to “captive.” Another, “No Outsiders Allowed,” surely bodes ill for a local police detective (Scott Cohen) when he begins to suspect the two criminal fugitives are hiding here.It’s one thing that none of the protagonists are sympathetic here; it’s quite another that Peirone pushes performances, camera movement, and editing toward the frenetic so early and so often that there’s no chance for atmosphere or tension to build.

A madwoman's isolated estate proves an unwise choice of hideout for two fugitives in Mitzi Peirone's decorative, pretentious quasi-thriller.“Braid” is something of a throwback to certain films of the ’60s and ’70s, in which “psycho chillers,” giallos, and those art-house items that critic Pauline Kael called “Come-Dressed-As-The-Sick-Soul-of-Europe Parties” got all tangled up in supposedly shocking tales of decadence and perversion. Mitzi Peirone movie reviews & film summaries | Roger Ebert. Three former childhood friends that meet many years later with sinister agendas towards each other.

The plan is to find Daphne’s hidden safe, steal her loot, and scram.But Daphne, always a bit off, is now fully mad, and insistent that her erstwhile playmates return to “the game” and its strict rules. In our Braid review, we try to get to the bottom of Mitzi Peirone’s totally deranged and completely insane crime movie, which has to be seen to be believed. Here, three young women — two on the lam, one off her gourd — play twisted “games” at a isolated upstate New York manse.People get tied up, somebody dies, and every note in the key of hysteria is struck with the insistence of a hammer on a child’s xylophone. Mitzi Peirone’s debut feature film Braid is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, a challenge to sit through, let alone reviewing it. (The location, impressive inside and out, is Alder Manor in Yonkers, a onetime copper magnate’s home currently undergoing restoration after years of abandonment.)

To reconnect with Daphne and keep her distracted while planning the robbery Petula and Tilda engage with her in their old childhood games, which this time around however take a particular sadistic bent.

But suspense, let alone psychological nuance or narrative development, all take a back seat to what feels like an empty, mannered series of dress-up photo opportunities. After losing their stash and money in a drug bust, which they've barely escaped themselves, they are fugitives and also in debt with their drug supplier, who gives them two days to come up with the money. From first time director Mitzi Peirone, Braid is a girly-hued bit of psychological madness. It’s hard to care about its full-sized participants when they, too, are treated like collectibles — Peirone seems more interested in her actors’ superfluously ever-changing dress and hairstyles than she does in giving them dimensionalized characters.The sum impact is somewhat exasperating for being so hollow, and so fussily so.
