Now would be as good a time as any to confess a friendly acquaintance with the involved talent here, as well as feeling a powerful ambivalence towards every new film of Silver's. And I think this is the desired effect: With the willfully lurid suicide scene, the intrusion of Angelica Huston's narration, and above all the spacey opacity of Burdge's performance, which has more than a touch of Julie Hagerty to it, Thirst Street rejects every entry to empathy, a real pebble-in-the-sock agitation.
