Review of Compromising Positions (1985) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 01 Jan 2000
Unfortunately, Frank Perry's unbelievably ham-handed direction obscures most of what is craftsmanly and pleasant in Isaacs's work, pushing the material toward a smug, sloppy, heavily early-70s satire on the horrors of suburban life.
A very mixed bag, but those who've missed a storytelling sense in American movies might want to have a look.
