Golden Exits

If you don't like character- and dialogue-driven films, skip this one. I found it interesting.

The bitterness is the basic gift to viewer of this film. A film builded in its circle of talks and fears and gossips and analysis and walls of protection.

I wanted so badly to like this. The cast...

It feels like a cross between neil simon and woody allen but without the brilliant insight.

At times almost theatrical in dialogue/monologue, whilst in others, the encounters are real enough to make you feel like a voyeur in a conversation that's either awkward or personal.

This was like watching Anthony Weiner on probation while his wife packs his lunchbox for work at a girls school.

Part way through, w/out even knowing, I thought this script had to come out of N.Y.

I love indie films. I love films that others probably think are "boring" and "pointless".

The worst aspect of this movie for me, was the character of Gwen, played very well by the great Mary Louise Parker. Perhaps she played this character too well.
