The-Party-Movie-Poster

The Party – Movie Review

We start this cunning, noble achievement that writer/director Sally Potter (Orlando, The Tango Lesson) has presented us with, by waiting for a closed door to open as if we’re the ones about to be allowed entrance. Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) opens the door but instead of greeting us with a smile, we are met with a gun to the face. Color me intrigued. That’s quite an arresting way to start the film. Potter wanted us immediately captivated and achieves this goal with the violent gesture which is a shrewd move for any director to make. Now that she has us hooked, she jettison’s us to an earlier point in the evening, before people show up for a celebratory dinner at the apartment she shares with her husband Bill (Timothy Spall). Bill mumbles to himself in the living room as if almost in a fugue state of some kind. This gets a little daunting but plays a large part in the story later.

To set the tone, The Party is exhibited in black and white, with the haunting yet seductive tune, ‘What is this thing called love?’ by Sidney Bechet playing on vinyl in the background. In fact, I have it playing as I write this. It’s splendid and both elements together give the film the vibe of an early Woody Allen picture.

Soon, we’re introduced to the guests as they file in, staggered so that we may have a complete and thorough examination of their character.  Each congratulates Janet for a political accomplishment of some sort. Whatever the reason, and this is never quite made clear, this has all been a sophisticated setup to keep you restless and itching to find out the consequences as to why a celebration over a political win leads to a weapon being drawn.

Cherry Jones with her gravelly voice and unimposing self-assurance, is a strong presence in the film, playing Martha, married to the younger Jinny (Emily Mortimer) who is with child… with children. Martha, who came for a bash, now faces the biggest decision of her life.

The very memorable character, April, is played by Patricia Clarkson, who gets to somewhat portray the comic relief for the film but also carries the weight of being a more stereotypical female. Bitchy and ruthless, she attacks her beau Gottfried (Ganz) but she doesn’t discriminate, never holding her tongue. You can tell Clarkson has fun with the role getting to point out everyone’s flaws without regret.

Tom, played by the charismatic Cillian Murphy, walks in agitated and frantic about a deed he must carry out. When you learn why he’s there, you’ll wonder how he kept it together for so long. Murphy’s performance is aggressive and potent, however, I would have liked to have seen more of him.

All the players who postulate, proposing to know the reality of their situation, end up being fools, destroyed by their own egos. The actors who play them and bring this terrific tale to life, do a fantastic job of keeping the audience profoundly involved in the alternating storyline, without revealing the nuts and bolts of the situation and not exposing who they are or what’s going on until the director wants you to know.

Outside of these performances, what you’ll appreciate the most is learning what the party truly is… and how this yarn ends. Labeled a comedy/drama, the comedy is, to a large degree, missing and at times it feels like it doesn’t know what it wants to be. This is brilliant because struggles in life often turn out to be exactly that… not what you had planned.

After months have passed without a culprit in her daughter’s murder case, Mildred Hayes (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand) makes a bold move, painting three signs leading into her town with a controversial message directed at William Willoughby (Academy Award nominee Woody Harrelson), the town’s revered chief of police. When his second-in-command Officer Dixon (Sam Rockwell), an immature mother’s boy with a penchant for violence, gets involved, the battle between Mildred and Ebbing’s law enforcement is only exacerbated.

Suburbicon Movie Review

“Suburbicon” is new look at the 50’s era of massive suburban developments and the people who moved into these mini-cities. With a brilliant opening sequence, designed to look like a marketing brochure come to life, it takes some very different and dark turns. Since the original script is from Joel & Ethan Coen, there are many dangerous areas explored in the idyllic little town. These mostly deal with gangsters, dead bookies, possible insurance fraud and murder. The script also was touched by Clooney & Grant Heslov to include racial tensions and integration gone wrong. The two styles do not mix very well.

 

In Suburbicon, there is a black family who moves into the neighborhood. However, the Mayers arrival starts an over-the-top escalation of dismay, rudeness and hate from the lily-white people next door. The new family is blameless of course, but the racial taunting and bullying goes on and on. But across that backyard, something strange is happening at the Lodge residence. Gardner Lodge (Matt Damon) lives there with his crippled wife Rose (Julianne Moore) and son Nicky (Noah Jupe). Also visiting is Rose’s sister Maggie (also played by Moore).

 

A late-night break-in gets all the family tied up and helpless, and two thugs (Glenn Fleshler & Alex Hassel) use chloroform to make them all pass out. However, this puts fragile Rose into a coma, and then she dies. Nicky is heartbroken, and he does not get much love or support from his father, Gardner. He is also put off by his aunt Maggie, who will be staying with them for the time being to support the family. Maggie soon takes to emulating Rose in every way, dyeing her hair blond and wearing Rose’s clothes and jewelry.

 

The police say they have suspects, but in a line-up neither Maggie nor Gardner say they spot the men that killed Rose. But Nicky can see that they are hiding something. There is also an obnoxious insurance investigator named Bud (Oscar Isaac) who thinks that the life insurance policy on Rose has a bunch of issues. At the same time, there is a bigger and louder confrontation with the Mayer family in front of their house. Nobody is looking into the weird events at the Lodge’s house. But that same night, there are many things that all go wrong.

 

The insurance guy Bud comes back to threaten Gardner and Maggie. The two thugs are back to also threaten Gardner and Maggie. Nicky is scared and must fend for himself. But the crowd by the Mayers house is too involved to notice the nefarious deeds that are being done at the Lodge’s house. By the time the night comes to an end, so will the lives of several of these people…

When it all breaks down, this movie plays as ‘Coen Brothers Lite’. It has some of the risky, double-dealing, creepy behavior of the typical Coen brothers movie. But that aspect is downplayed and set against a backdrop of the unconnected racial tensions next door. There are characters whose motivations only come clear later as it continues, and only the young son Nicky is the innocent one. One initial bad thing brings a cascading domino effect of rotten mistakes and loser options. But the heavy-handed side-story dealing with of the persecution of the new black family does not connect to the main plot.

 

The acting is stiff and forced, perhaps as a way to better show the 1950’s era that the movie portrays. But none of the main characters have much to do, except perhaps young Noah Jupe. He puts in a terrific performance. Also Oscar Isaac makes a decent appearance, but has a very brief role. Matt Damon is very plain and cartoonish. He plays a character that could be called ‘Good Will Boring’. Julianne Moore plays two roles, and is stilted in both of them.

When a Realtor calls and says you can make an offer on a nice, quite little house in a place call Suburbicon, tell them to keep looking. This neighborhood is not that good.
