The film starts with an award show (basically the Oscars but not) where a woman is entering alone and because of this she is assumed to be no one. Flashback to her high school days when she won an award for writing and later that night is raped by a hose. Yeah, we were shocked too. The owner of the house where this happened is a famous screenwriter who goes to talk to her and this sparks up a connection. They marry. He's at minimum 35 years older than her. The marriage goes sour after a while due mainly to him being jealous of her ability after giving her a chance at writing on one of his films. She then has an affair with an actor and tries to get a script she wrote looked at. She doesn't get a deal but she does get an abortion. Then she gets a job working at a club where the club owner, who she eventually screws, offers to send out her script. He doesn't but she does get duped into having sex with a couple who she thinks will help her. Finally she gets "help" from a producer and his wife, but it seems to be a lavender marriage where she has to screw the wife to get her movie made. It does get made and she wins her Noscar for it and she uses her speech to basically admit she fucked her way to the top and it wasn't worth it.
This film was wild. Aside from the plot, there were some incredible moments of melodrama and the surprise of her speech at the end was honestly pretty satisfying. The thing we really can't figure out though is the title. She's metaphorically lonely in the sense that she is left out to dry by everyone, but she doesn't seem to be at a loss for companionship at all.
Also the lead actress was apparently Little Miss Muffet in Adam's childhood favorite of Mother Goose Rock n' Rhyme. Glad to know she did something else even if it was this.
