Farrah Fawcett performs straight from the gut. She is unforgettable. Diana Scarwid and Alfre Woodard are excellent as her feckless friends. The perpitrator is just a tad off in his shading of the character, and is disturbingly inconsistent. But, the camerawork, presumably an attempt at cinema verite, comes off merely as conspicuously clumsy and amateurish. And, there is absolutely NO fluidity from scene to scene. In the hands of Penny Marshall or Betty Thomas, this could have been a classic. As is, it is a waste of three tremendous performances.
