Juliette Lewis’s character (spoiler-ish)


Erica is it? I wasn’t sure which one she was in the flashback. Was she just in the background when Sue Ann came out of the closet? Or was there a scene where she really did nothing?

reply

Yes she was Erica. I’m wondering this too. Maybe she was nice to Sue Ann earlier. I remember a couple of girls inviting Sue Ann to the rockpile, maybe she was one of them, and it wasn’t with malicious intent. Like when Maggie invited Genie to come down to the basement sometime.

I was also asking myself why was she all "You were there and you did nothing!!". And Erica being "I'm sooo sorry, I didn't know!". I was like... where is that coming from??

Now I'm thinking maybe they cut a few scenes with some flashbacks that could explain just that: how they were supposed to be a little closer or something.

I don't mind having to think to find explanations in investigation/mystery movies, etc. It's a part of the game. But it annoys me when we are supposed to make up our own explanations for what seem to be plot holes. It's like the writers or editors got lazy or something.

Yeah something was missing to emphasize who she was back then. "we all went to school together" was thrown in there at some point but didn't really specify anything with her.

I wondered if she wasn't the one sitting across from her at the lunch table in that one flashback.
