Title: What Ties These Three Stories Together?
Review: Not much, it is way too subtle for me to understand what these 3 women's lives and stories have in common. This is one of those films where you appreciate the magnitude of your problems compared to the characters' as theirs are 100 times worse than yours. I might have appreciated this film more if it had focused on one of the women and only told her story.Why does Kyra Sedgwick's Delia stay with a man who despises her and have 3 kids with him? How about Parker Posey's Great going from also ran editor to superstar - is it really that easy? Why is Fairuza Balk's Paula out in a club and interested in the Norwegian dude? Each one of these could have used more backstory.Ron Leibman's Avram Herskowitz is an obvious ripoff of Alan Dershowitz.Rebecca Miller directed and wrote the film based on her book. This movie looks like it was shot on tape in an eternally smoky haze - was that the only way to "soften" these characters?
