A riveting thriller about female desire. With her role, Meg Ryan bravely took a stand against the merciless laws of Hollywood.

After a young woman is found murdered near her New York apartment, Frannie (Meg Ryan), a literature professor, meets the police officer Malloy (Mark Ruffalo). She begins a torrid affair with him. Frannie longs for the policeman’s body, but his behavior seems increasingly suspicious to her. Did he have something to do with the murder?

With this role of a woman at once detached and passionate, Meg Ryan radically broke with her image as a lovable sweetheart. ›In the Cut‹ shows complex female desire that is torn between longing for love and sex, romantic reveries, and ruthless reality.
