The Dinner Party

I sensed a definite Hitchcokian influence to this film which all takes place over the course of a dinner. The premise is not a unique one, but the story dialogue and characters elevate this into something very different. The characters and sense of realism and improvisation they create make this a fascinating study of these flawed broken individuals.

I am sorry I wasted my time. This movie makes very little sense and for half the movie I was waiting for a climax that sadly never came. The ending was nonsensical and boring. Do yourself a favor. Skip this.

Intriguing, fascinating, smart, and sometimes comical thriller. A hidden gem that I'm so glad I came across. The screw-up brother is absolutely hilarious. Will be watching this again and again.

Okay there was definitely a disconnect here as this definitely is not the 'Dinner Party' movie I was looking for. And you do a search on IMDB and there is like 30 movies called 'The Dinner Party' and that's just stupid.

-1 Star for using a way too overused title....

Okay so dude shows up at his ex's place with another girl?

So dialogue and dinner with 4 people. That's what this whole thing is about. Sima, Calvin, Jack and Bridget. They've been 'muckers' since the beginning of time.

So Jack gets something spilled on his clothes and they tell him to go take a shower. So technically that's the 2nd shower scene without really showing anything in the movie. That's another -1 Star.

So Sima is poisoning people? She's one weirdie. Odd how her voice is exactly like Molly Parkers voice to me.

So a lot of dialogue and really nothing so we can get to Sima's revelation about what she is. -1 Star

This is really pretty bad. Not entertaining at all. If you're looking for boredom, you might want to check this out.

2/10.
