Oppressive Framing

Every single character is intensely unlikeable

Not a lot to say about this one. I had taped it from cable some years ago, probably because it had Lara Flynn Boyle in it. I suppose it was a direct-to-video release. It does not seem to have been seen widely, with only 3 comments and 280 ratings. It is very professionally done, with nice sets and costumes, good photography, and unobtrusive direction. It also sports a good cast, with good performances by Miss Boyle, Frank Whaley, and John Spencer. Honorable mention to Anna Levine and Cynthia Watros. But every single character was intensely unlikeable. That's not necessarily a fatal flaw for a movie, but it turned out that way in this one. The cast and crew could not overcome the script.

Made a big impression

I absolutely loved this film and the end of it touched me a lot, probably because I have spent many years of my 20´s waking up at 15:00 after long nights drinking, swallowing and smoking all kinds of stuff and meeting so many different people. I will not dare to watch the Woody Allen´s version because I will probably get depressed.

I wonder if the contents in the Soundtrack section here are right. I very much doubt it. The singer of ´Season´s change´in the film has not the same voice as the Stephanie Jordan who I am familiar with, unless all those substances spoiled my hearing so much...

Otherwise I wanted to find that song in Spotify or Youtube, but I have Shazamed it and got no results. Shame.

A fine film; based on true incidents

I saw this film at the home of some senior friends of mine who have a satellite dish. They both are in their eighties, but lived in New York City at the time of the events which take place in the movie. We all found the film entertaining, lively, well-written. My friends vouched for its accuracy as to what really happened. There's a bit more drama, more suspense, than the title alone suggests. Well worth your time.
