By sunrise, “Test Pattern” moves gears. Tenesha is left off unceremoniously and gathers Evan in the place of Amber. Shocked by her state, he comes into action to request help from his girlfriend. After this awful event the pair stumbling into the core, sad reality of the film: there can be no justice. It is a truth with which millions of victims live. Many people never again try to traverse the arduous reporting process faced by our two characters. The filmmaker, written and directed by Ford, navigates this challenging experience with patience and attention to detail and leads to a riveting, slow-burning, unpredictable, yet unseen, drama.
Sweet and delicate is the scene where they have sex. She tells him “I never want you to go.” His answer is straightforward: “I won’t.” And he does not. And he does not. Soon, Renesha leaves up her business life and lives with Evan in a little blue house. He runs his tattoo at home while at the Human Society she gets a new job. Tenesha begins to wear natural hair, clothes and obtain several tattoos. Two dogs and a cat are adopted. The relationship is gorgeous.
But, then one night, Reneshe goes out and runs into a couple of pushy white males with her friend Amber (Gail Bean). Together they ignore and press Renesha to drink more, stay away later and take a weed rubber. She can hardly stand by the end of the night. One of the males, Drew Fuller, pulling her to the glowing red hotel room at the beginning of the movie, while she is trying to leave. When Renesha rapes her, he is hardly aware of her too weary to physically or verbally protest. In contrast to many other directors, Ford does not stick with the particulars of the attack. She only offers us sufficient information that it occurred during the action without leering at Renesha’s body. In the morning, in the middle of the street near her house, the man drops her down. Once she goes home to Evan, his reaction will forever alter her relationship.
About the quiz
The experiences of every surviving victim of sexual assault are distinct – trauma can’t be remedied. Some individuals want the abuser to be held accountable. Some people would wish to use their experience with campaigns like #MeToo’s Tarana Burke. Sometimes the survivor merely desires revenge, as we often see in the cinema. But Renesha doesn’t want anything like that. She simply wishes to go home, take a bath and go to bed.
But she is also unfulfilled with her corporate style, and therefore her appetite for Evan’s less driven but satisfied atmosphere is understandable, especially when they sleep together – and find their compatibility is physical as well, especially once they are “seeking consent” moment that isn’t only awkward, but actually somewhat sexy. “You’re a freak,” Renesha giggles from under the squirrels. “You are… noisy,” Evan counters. Next, together they moved into a modest house, Renesha took a non-profit job and Evan cooks breakfast on a tatty T-shirt and apron.
These beautifully performed establishment scenes have light, airy, quasi-indie-romantic qualities, or they might have the excellent string score of Robert Ouyang Rusli which enfolds Renesha in Melancholy melodious cello motifs, if not for the limited discomfort of Ludovica Isidori’s camera — somewhat too quiet and slightly too watchful. And whatever bizarre romcom notes exist in the air are erased by the psychological agony of the night when Renezha leaves Evan at home with a friend.
