The Anniversary Party   ...   movie reviews

Last night we watched The Anniversary Party. The cast is great and the story is compelling...

One interesting thing about it is that it doesn't really wrap things up at the end, and it never fully explains all the backstory and relationships between the characters... So it's kind of like we just happen to witness a random 24-hour slice of these people's lives. Well, okay, it's not a random day, it's a particularly eventful day.

It's also interesting how many things in the film are real -- apparently the dog is actually Jennifer Jason Leigh's dog, and the yoga instructor her yoga instructor; Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates are really married, and the kids are actually their kids... But I guess Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan Cummings are not in fact actually involved.
