And while she's on medication that's supposed to least control the frequency and severity of her seizures, she's still limited by her affliction. Turns out Ivy has a right not to trust her body: she's epileptic. Though Ivy seems happy enough at the beginning (she pals around with her best friend from childhood, and talks on the phone with her boyfriend from school), there's a tentativeness to her that's rare for a girl her age she's not at all comfortable in her own skin. It's an intimate character study starring Zoe Kazan as Ivy, a young woman who's returned home to New York City after finishing her freshman year at college. No, Gray's film is something else entirely. If that's what you seek, there's always John Cassavetes - from ten different angles - in THE FURY. Let's get this straight: the title of Bradley Rust Gray's THE EXPLODING GIRL is purely metaphorical there are no full-scale detonations of actual people in this movie.
