What an outstanding cast!
- Brian Cox played the looney psychiatrist perfectly.
- Jill Clayburgh reminded me of Allison Janney's character in American Beauty (though a more vocal one in this movie).
- Alec Baldwin had a small role but he came through with such precision that it's one of his many short but memorable performances (like his turn in Glengary Glen Ross).
- Evan Rachel Wood, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Cross, and Joseph Fiennes make up such a crazy bunch and yet clearly represent what I really believe is normal.
- Oh, and let's not forget Annette Bening. Damn, she really knows how to breakdown in front of a camera...(but Ellen Burstyn's performance in Requiem for a Dream is still the performance to beat when it comes to self-destruction).
It's a dark comedy that really delivers the realities of life and I think there's a lot to agree to in this film.
