| Guide Review |
|
| Recent films like "Divine Secrets
of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" tend to dumb down the complexity of
women interacting with other women, but not in Patrick Stettner's
tense and provocative film. Stockard Channing plays a hardened business
woman who, expecting to be laid off, is instead promoted to CEO. Julia
Stiles, disquieting with her tough demeanor and angry tattoos, plays
her edgy young assistant. In one rainy night in a corporate hotel,
their relationship seesaws back and forth between easy intimacy and
flat-out contempt, wholesome exercise and alcohol induced violence.
It's fascinating stuff, and even though the ending goes over the top,
this film is worth watching. |
