Bette Midler Is Superb

This HBO film, a series of five blistering monologues (comedic with an edge) about the current state of politics, the pandemic, etc. was written by Paul Rudnick. Each of the five actors plays a character dealing with life in 2020 America. Each character talks to a camera while in quarantine. And no it's not static; it's a lively and engrossing 90 minutes (or thereabouts).Bette Midler starts things off superbly as Miriam, a woman who has been booked for attacking a man in a coffee shop. She talks about her life in New York as a middle-class Jewish woman and the things that are important to her. Next is Dan Levy as a gay actor in LA trying to get a role in a gay superhero movie and dealing with gay stereotypes.Third is Issa Rae as the daughter of a wealthy Black businessman who has political ties through her years in boarding school and who talks about the politics of wealth and privilege. Fourth is Sarah Paulson as a meditation guru who talks about her visit back home with her working class family and the blindness of political fervor. Last is Kaitlyn Dever as a NYC nurse dealing with the day-to-day grind in a hospital flooded with pandemic patients and the loss of one special patient.Tough, trenchant, and funny.

Inspired theatre, beyond entertaining: A new art form

This is a gem, and a tremendous theatrical gift. It's timely, heartfelt, humane, but on top of It all, a showcase of amazing talent. Bette Miller is superb-a true icon-but the cast of five all really bring it on.

One of its great achievements is it feels like live theater and not a sterile Zoom call. So great art can happen even during forced isolation.

I watched it twice, and will watch it again.
