Wow. Just wow. We have never seen Patricia Arquette like this. Giving 3 dimensional characters since the late 80s, Arquette is always reliable and full of conviction. Watching her performances over the years, you can see how she learns from project to project.
In the last several years she has completely transformed with every role, disappearing. Peggy of "High Desert" continues that trend, and throws it upside down. Arquette's movements, speech pattern, and expressions are different than ever before. Never has she had so much FUN, completely letting loose. The audience is rewarded. Her Peggy is a wild hot mess with a heart of gold.
Give her the Emmy, SAG, and Golden Glode.
"High Desert" has no shortage of talent. Bernadette Peters, Matt Dillion, Brad Garrett and Christine Taylor are also giving solid work and having fun.
The story is as messy as Peggy. It jumps between her bar maid work to PI to her mother and family issues. It kept me engaged and laughing. Hysterically.
We all have a Peggy in our lives; the loved one who drives us crazy making terrible choices, yet is so fun and bright we can't help but love the person.
I challenge you to not fall in love with Patricia Arquette's limitless talent and charms all over again.
