Forgetting the Girl 2013

In the bizarre realm of Kevin Wolfe (played by), a talented photographer dedicated to encapsulating the allure of aspiring models and actresses, the line separating reality from illusion is perpetually shifting. His unfulfilled aspirations to forge a connection with the enchanting individuals who sit before his lens are closely monitored by Jamie, a makeup artist deeply infatuated with Kevin’s endearing awkwardness. When Adrienne, one of Kevin’s clients, invites him out for a nightcap, he eagerly agrees, only to be left in shock when she inexplicably disappears, later revealing that their encounter was merely a fleeting amusement.

As the plot thickens, Jamie’s obsession with Kevin intensifies, especially as he begins to pursue Beth, a woman who marches to the beat of her own drum and remains steadfastly resistant to his advances. Frustrated and feeling outpaced, Kevin decides to take Jamie out for an evening filled with revelry, where they both lose themselves in a cloud of intoxication. During this moment of vulnerability, Jamie unveils her profound love for Kevin, but he dismisses her feelings, labeling their interaction as an unfortunate misstep.

The next morning presents a jarring revelation for Jamie when she learns that Beth has tragically lost her life at Kevin’s hands, a casualty of his desperate need to escape his past. In a dark twist of loyalty, Jamie agrees to help dispose of Beth’s body and confesses her own involvement in Adrienne’s murder, claiming that she too had eliminated any woman who dared to show interest in Kevin.

As these two partners in crime plot against one another, they devise a sinister plan for Jamie’s own demise, believing her death will protect Kevin by erasing his memories of their chaotic affair. Following Jamie’s untimely end, Kevin is left to bear the crushing burden of his past, with haunting memories of his childhood flooding back. These reflections include the tragic drowning of his sister, Nicole, which has cast a long shadow over his life, igniting the self-destructive tendencies that have plagued him since his early years.
