A good character study

A 2 person, 1 act, dialogue play.Stanley Tucci is excellent as usual I was not familiar with Alice Eve but she too was excellent.An attorney leaves his wife and shows up his former lover's place after no contact for 4 years. 'Nuff said about the plot.The writing was OK but could have been better.The camera work was perhaps the most interesting part. They used excellent control of perspective to control and help define the scenes. Depending who controlled the scene the perspective showed that individual to be the bigger person. Eve is 5'5", Tucci is 5'8" but as scenes shifted she would appear to dwarf him when she controlled the scene, as power shifted to him it would reverse, or shift to equal footing. At times it appeared to be done to show Tucci's character's pettiness. Excellent camera work!!!!With better writing I would have given this a 9.

A cruel trick.

This film is masterfully pulled off... great acting, visuals, everything. Unfortunately, in my opinion it fits into a category of the "Irreversible" ilk, where you are made to watch something drawn-out and punishing, for the sole purpose of a "reveal" that everything is not as it seems (this film) or there is something more to it all which makes it even more punishing (this film and Irreversible). As another reviewer has said, it's not entertaining.Sadly, the comedy of Neil LaBute's successes is lacking here, unless you consider the ending to be a joke. If it is, it's not funny.I caught a glimpse of this cruel-for-cruelty's-sake side of LaBute when reading the short story about a murdered prostitute in his book, "Seconds of Pleasure", a story which I'd be surprised to see make it into the upcoming film version thereof.
