Storyline

- TriviaOf the five main actors in this movie, only one, Frances McDormand, uses her own accent. The others are: a Welsh born Englishman (Christian Bale) performing an American accent; an English woman (Kate Beckinsale) performing an American accent; an American man (Alessandro Nivola) performing a British accent; and an English woman (Natascha McElhone) performing an Israeli accent.
- GoofsThe album-wrap party takes place in a suite on an upper floor of the Chateau Marmont (we see Ian order more champagne for the "penthouse suite", and the view from the balcony is clearly an upper floor). Yet when Sam storms out of the suite, then runs downstairs while arguing with Jane, they only descend one flight before reaching the lobby. There is a cut, but the dialog implies that no time was cut from their descent.

Featured review
Very impressed; tight script and great character acting
This is a really interesting movie; not quite sure why or how it hasn't received more kudos that it has. The plot is not for the faint hearted when it comes to issues of sexuality and nor is the language. But if one is of a mature age and attitude; this is well worth watching. This is an ensemble performance so I wont single out any single actor for particular comment; the sound track is integral to the film and while present, does not overwhelm. One of the interesting aspects of this film is how it deals with age. Ultimately this film is about reality and ambiguity of relationships and the importance of honest and as such it about life. Highly recommended.
