A Hole in One is a 2004 independent drama-comedy directed by Richard Ledes and starring Michelle Williams, Meat Loaf, and Tim Guinee. Set in the 1950s, the movie follows Anna (Michelle Williams), a young woman who is struggling with mental illness and is being treated at a mental institution. Anna believes that the only way to cure herself is to have a transorbital lobotomy, a controversial procedure that involves drilling a hole in the skull to access the brain.

Anna's boyfriend, Billy (Meat Loaf), is vehemently opposed to the idea of the lobotomy and believes that Anna's mental health problems can be solved through therapy and medication. However, Anna is convinced that the lobotomy is the only way to rid herself of her demons, which she believes are caused by a golf ball that she swallowed as a child.

Despite Billy's objections, Anna goes ahead with the procedure, only to discover that the hole in her head has given her strange psychic powers that allow her to predict the future. Anna's newfound abilities attract the attention of a group of underworld characters, including a corrupt businessman (Tim Guinee) who wants to use her powers to his own advantage.

The movie explores themes of mental illness, the dangers of untested medical procedures, and the search for identity and purpose. Michelle Williams gives a captivating performance as Anna, capturing the character's vulnerability and inner turmoil with nuance and sensitivity. Meat Loaf is also impressive as Billy, a hardworking and compassionate man who must come to terms with his own limitations and the limitations of the medical profession.

The supporting cast, including Tim Guinee, Louis Zorich, and Bill Raymond, are all excellent, bringing depth and complexity to their characters. The movie's production design and cinematography are also noteworthy, capturing the look and feel of the 1950s with authenticity and flair.

Overall, A Hole in One is a thought-provoking and entertaining film that will appeal to fans of independent cinema and character-driven dramas. The movie's exploration of mental illness and the medical industry is timely and relevant, and Michelle Williams delivers a standout performance that is not to be missed.
