The Big Shrill
Female talk show host invites her old fellow band members and their spouses (including her former lover) for a weekend in the country, but the reunion is less than joyful. An abrasive, annoying film filled with obnoxious characters that make no sense whatsoever, with dialogue reminiscent of crass feminist cinema of the 70'es. Not funny enough to work as a comedy, not serious enough to work as drama, the film is a car wreck and as erratic as its main character. Acted, written and directed with zero conviction. If you enjoy watching venomous couples arguing in front of their friends, this is the movie for you. Others beware. *½
