Written by, directed by, but not starring.... emma forrest. Looks like her first directing gig. The story centers on two sisters, andrea and tara, played by lola and jemima kirke. And the web of men who come in and out of their lives. All the characters have their own baggage. Pent up anger, and it comes out now and then at who-ever is nearby. Lots of talking about feelings, passes made but not completed. To cheat or not to cheat. The trivia section implies that some of this may have been taken from forrest's personal life. Her husband at the time, mendelsohn, plays martin. Co-stars billy crystal, jamie dornan. They play kiss them for me by siouxsie & the banshees for about 3 seconds near the beginning... clearly for effect. Great tune! Thankfully, they play more of it later on. That, shiny happy people, and primal's come together were all released in 1991. It's mostly good... script kind of goes all over. How they treat their pets is symbolic of how they treat other people in their lives. A lot of time spent on that. Shots of the hollywood sign. Some confusion when nick goes to a twelve step program. He claims to be a writer slash doctor, but we don't hear him say he's an alcoholic. Or a user. Or what kind of meeting it is.
