Whatever Works

Boris Yellnikoff is a very rude and old chess teacher that is always insulting his chess students. One day, while going home, Boris meets Melody (Evan Rachel Wood), an ingenuous girl from the interior that just arrived in New York. Since she doesn't know anyone, she asks him if she can stay at his apartment for the night and, even though he want, he lets her stay for a month. Time goes by and we notice she's not thinking about leaving the apartment, until the day she reveals she's in love with him. They end up marrying.

Suddenly, melody's mother shows up. Just like her daughter, she isn't used to the big city and is really religious. She doesn't approve the marriage, and goes look for a better person for her daughter to marry. During her search, she kind of opens her mind a little about the city and herself. Later, Melody's father does the same.

Boris, that in many moments talks to the public, says in a scene that this isn't a movie made for people to feel well. But, Melody reflects later that Boris' threatens are bigger than his actions. The story is about some ideas that society doens't approve. Its a nice movie, some parts are funny, and others romantic. I liked because it was different, its a totally different topic from the usual ones. I would recommend it for teenagers and adults, because its an interesting story, but that requires some maturity to understand.
