The best of The Slap feels like the jazz that Hector loves, riffing on themes instead of hitting them directly on the beat. It helps to have good to great performances all around.
A momentary lapse could lead to weeks of thought-provoking drama. The Slap echoes.
It’s well-acted while at times also being mis-directed in terms of storytelling and too many hit-over-the-head characterizations.
The Slap just misses being as sharp in the execution as it is in the concept.
The Slap has the ideas and the assembled talent to make a better, subtler character exploration, but it’s brought down by hamhanded characterization and an assemblage of bourgeois-Brooklyn types that it’s impossible (even for another bourgeois-Brooklyn type) to care about.
NBC's new miniseries The Slap is a heavy-handed, button-pushing, endlessly irritating drama about a family that slowly unravels after a man slaps another's obnoxious child at a family party.
