Lovely and Amazing (2001)
Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Nicole Holofcener
Cast: Catherine Keener, Brenda Blethyn, Emily Mortimer, Michael Nouri, Dermot Mulroney
Synopsis:
Two sisters reach a crossroads in their lives as their mother goes into hospital for a liposuction operation.
Review:
A film about faintly neurotic people which contrives not to be Allenesque because their anxieties, mostly centred on how they look to others, are only partly played for laughs. On the contrary, one's abiding impression is of how heartfelt the writing is and how peculiar the issue is to the female sex. The film is a convincing sample of how people in L.A. doubtless behave towards one another.
