Title: Lady In The Box is an excellent film
Review: Initially, I went to see Lady In The Box simply because it was filmed in Milwaukee by a Milwaukee director. I didn't expect much and was hoping to see an OK or mediocre film. I came away shocked at the quality of the writing, the direction and the atmosphere of the film. This is one of the best movies I've seen in 2001. It is classic noir with nail munching suspense and great acting. It was an extra bonus to see all the Milwaukee scenery and pick out things that I recognized, but that all took a backseat to the engrossing storyline. I really hope this film is released on DVD and/or video, because it deserves recognition on a national level. It's still at a handful of Milwaukee theaters, but who knows for how long. If you've thought about seeing it, don't wait.
