Review

i’m not a huge fan of robert altman. i like short cuts and the player, but thought mash was overrated. james franco is cool, neve campbell isn’t, and malcolm mcdowell used to be pretty great. i don’t know what anyone was thinking on this film. it was sort of a documentary of a ballet company, but it lacked the information or character development that documentaries generally have. at the same time i lacked any sort of real story, drama, narrative, conflict, etc. there were hints at some of these things, but nothing was developed at all and it felt like it was supposed to be three hours long, but they didn’t have the budget. mostly i think it was just a vehicle for neve campbell’s waning career. what a mess.
