80The writing is relaxed in the right places and heightened to a largely effective degree when it counts.
-
Jul 6, 201275Both characters are riveting, and they even manage to earn most of the freight that Donovan loads onto his heavily ironic title.
-
Jul 4, 201270On one level, it's a dark, funny tragedy, but it's also Donovan's thesis on his own craft.
-
67Donovan, acting with ironic reserve, hands the movie to Morse, who makes his character the kind of crank you can care about just because he's so abysmally lost.
-
Jul 13, 201263Morse and Donovan hold us rapt in this clearly told tale about identity confusion.
-
60Hartley fans will certainly see his influence, especially in dialogue and movement that are so precise as to feel choreographed.
-
60Both Robert and Gus seem defined purely by their eccentric speech patterns, and it takes a while for the duo to register as anything other than acting-exercise conceits. But once the story takes a defiantly odd turn into thriller territory (really an excuse to hole up two talented thespians in a single location), the affected nature of the performances becomes a virtue.
-
40Collaborator has the tone and structure of an extended one-act play. Its uniformly wooden dialogue lends it the stage-bound feel of a tortured writing exercise.
-
Jul 5, 201238The banter is playful and brazenly self-aware, but the ideas are a bit stale and don't lead anywhere emotionally substantial or narratively spontaneous.
