    A lesson for Chestnut Hill wine moms and do-gooder Jane Fonda types on why Trump won. Very faithful adaptation of Yasmina Reza's truly hilarious play.

    There seems to be some formula where if you mix a dreamlike/nightmarish atmosphere, a semi-inscrutable plot, and attractive women playing a male sexual fantasy, especially if there is some uncertainty about the melding of the identities of these attractive women,the movie will be considered a masterpiece. Persona is perhaps the first example of this and probably the most succesful one as well. To varying degrees 3 Women, Eyes Wide Shut, Black Swan, Blue Velvet, and of course…

    The first two hours are very fun and very cringe; the last hour is less fun and somehow even more cringe. Obviously it is not a "good" movie, but Al Pacino is extremely attractive, what can I say. I wish Tony Montana would have had the chance to get it on with his sister.
