This movie is perfect. For me, it’s one of Linklater’s most vastly underrated films (or, at least, one of the ones most people haven’t seen), one that should be studied in terms of adaptation (and acting, which is top-notch), in the sense that this one act play by Stephen Belber becomes something so different when put to camera, because of Linklater’s willingness to be daring. The back and forth dialogue shines as the camera hartles from one person to the next, dizzying the audience into the state of the characters. A true film, one that shines above many of the so-called Indie films of today, for, but not only for, its sheer audactiyy, and the courage with which Linklater captures these three tortured souls.
