100They are all so very articulate, which is refreshing in a time when literate and evocative speech has been devalued in the movies.
-
80An intelligently written, well-acted, and thoughtful film about adult relationships. I’m surprised it came out of Hollywood.
-
60Despite involved acting and Nichols' impeccable professionalism as a director, the end result is, to quote one of the characters, "a bunch of sad strangers photographed beautifully."
-
