In "Palindromes," Middle-class Jersey Life Again in Solondz' Sights As with all his previous films, including the masterful "Welcome to the Dollhouse," which first announced him as a major new talent in 1995, and the equally accomplished "Happiness" (1998), "Palindromes" is set within a middle-class Jewish family living in suburban New Jersey. "Palindromes," it must finally be said, is not quite as strong as Solondz's previous films. The humor is deeply black here, as always in a Solondz film, and the Christian right comes in for some powerful skewering. www.indiewire.com /movies/movies_040915palin.html   (619 words)

Rod Dreher on The Hours on National Review Online The objectionable thing is the film's view that Laura owed nothing to her husband and children, not even an explanation, and that her pursuit of happiness should trump everything else — and that this should be obvious to any fair-minded viewer. She had a "double" with whom Clarissa identifies do the deed, which allows Clarissa to ponder mystical possibilities of vicarious death and spiritual connection — a theme that this film (adapted from Michael Cunningham's 1998 novel) explores in the lives of these three women, linked by an invisible thread. In the film, Woolf is living and working in the leafy London suburb of Richmond, where her devoted husband Leonard (Stephen Dillane) has taken her in hopes that the quiet of the countryside will ease her suicidal depression. www.nationalreview.com /dreher/dreher012403.asp   (1736 words)

The Story of a Mother A remarkably versatile actor whose chilling breakthrough performance as a pedophile in Todd Solondz's Happiness (1998) rocketed him to instant recognition among film critics and art-house patrons, straight-faced actor Dylan Baker has been appearing on-stage and in television and film since the early '80s. While his early stage training led him to numerous performances on and off-Broadway, Baker gained increasing screen presence with memorable roles in such films as The Cell (2000) and Along Came a Spider (2001). The mid-'90s found the increasingly busy actor dividing his time between stage, screen, and television, and Baker would soon wed actress Becky Ann Baker (the couple later appeared together in Woody Allen's Celebrity [1998]). www.sleepinghero.com /cast/baker.htm   (281 words)

Britmovie - Little Voice 1998 In comparison to the many other screenplays that are smarter, more meaningful and more accessible, Little Voice probably shouldn't have been the very good film that it is. LV (Jana Horrocks) is a shy and reserved woman with a troubled past. Mark Herman adapted the screenplay of Little Voice from Jim Cartwright's play, and that shows because the film is melodramatic and relies heavily on strong performances. Although it takes a while to get there, Little Voice eventually reassures us that the strongest people are not always the loudest, and that when one manages to finds happiness there are many others who get lost along the way. www.britmovie.co.uk /genres/comedy/filmography/004.html   (653 words)
