Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Only reason im not giving this full marks is because I wasn't sure where it was going for a moment. It all becomes a bit messy for a second. In the end though it's a neatly wrapped greek tragedy with a great cast. Loved it!
Sarcastic funny bitter delicious A very good movie, with perfect actors.
Janet is hosting an intimate gathering at home to celebrate her promotion to Shadow Minister of Health. This dark comedy will not appeal to all. It has received a mixed reception from movie critics. Filmed in black-and-white, the running time is short - just over an hour. The emphasis is on the characters and the dialogue with less-than-realistic home-and-garden scenery straight from an Agatha Christie stage play. The invitees know each other so well that the sharp wit does not offend too deeply. Eccentricity is rife with characters behaving outrageously and the ensemble of seven actors over-acting like crazy. I found it highly entertaining and thoroughly enjoyed it.
A simple to understand film, not overlong, that is laugh out loud funny, well worth a watch.
