Finally it opened in the Phoenix area.... Now I can tell you what I thought about the movie.
I am still wondering where the money went, it had a budget of $25 million and they managed to film the entirety of the film in 3 rooms of an apartment or condo. Penelope Longstreet (Jodie Foster) looked like she has just been through a nervous breakdown and if this is what the script writer had in mind here then it was portrayed excellently. I need to say that the acting from the 4 actors in this film worked together quite nicely to bring to the screen a portrayal of 2 sets of parents each looking out for their own child. In the end, they all get drunk and the story ends... No closure whatsoever, leaves the movie goer wanting more.
It’s one you should go and see if you have 79 minutes to waste, and some money you want to throw away. Otherwise, don’t bother, and whatever you do, don’t feel that you missed out on a stellar performance by either Ms Foster or Ms Winslet. The best scene in the entire film is when Nancy Cowan (Kate Winslet) “looses her cookies” all over Penelope’s irreplaceable art books that are on the coffee table. Wow, it looked way to real...
Note: The two actresses in the film (Kate Winslet, and Jodie Foster) received nominations for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy from the Golden Globe Awards, neither won the category, but hey, they got nominated!
And a question that perhaps we should asking ourselves: Why after his 1977 conviction of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13 year old girl, and having fled to France to keep out of prison is the the motion picture community still allowing him to continue his work? Perhaps as the viewing community we should boycott his films completely...What is your take on this matter?
My Rating: 1 Mugs of Guinness - aka; 1 Star for those not enjoying the better life with Irish Ale.
