"One of the most underrated independent films of the '90s."—Boxoffice Magazine
Suburban family woman Lisa (Jennifer van Dyck) yearns for a disruption of her numbing everyday routine. When an encounter with a jaded theater director introduces her to nihilism, Lisa withdraws into a regime of self-discovery and extreme behavior that alienates her family and friends. Lisa propels herself toward an ultimate and extreme rebirth as States of Control ends in an intense and wordless climax.
