Mad Cowgirl

“Mad Cowgirl” focuses on the life of Therese (Sarah Lassez), a Los Angeles health inspector whose job takes her to the meat-packing plants and slaughterhouses. It may not be much of a profession, but it has more stability than her private life: a failed marriage followed by a doomed affair with a hideous TV preacher (Walter Koenig, light years removed from the deck of the USS Enterprise) left her isolated in her small apartment with little more than an intense fascination with televised martial arts movies.

Yet something is not entirely right with Therese. In fact, nothing is entirely right. She consults her physician when her health begins to wobble, but the doctor is a Sri Lankan national who speak to her only in his native language. Yet Therese has no problems understanding him and responds to his questions in English, which he seems to understand. Therese crossed multi-culti lines when she visits her mother at an elder-care facility. But her mother is Vietnamese, and Therese is clearly not Asian. —FilmThreat
