QuickView
Story-line: when their marriage falters, Barbara and Oliver Rose both want exclusive ownership of their lovely house.
Pluses: vigorous acting, a surreal atmosphere, crazy set-ups and solid direction.
Minuses: this is not a warm and fuzzy movie but rather nasty, nasty stuff.
Comments: another chance to see Kathleen, Michael and Danny together, this time in a very dark tale played with tongue firmly in cheek. A film so deliciously mean it will stay with you for a very long time.
