Review of Compromising Positions (1985) by Kevin Thomas for Los Angeles Times — 05 Feb 2015
A delicious adaptation by Susan Isaacs of her novel, directed with a light, knowing touch by Frank Perry. It’s a blithe, sparkling, sophisticated comedy-mystery laced with dark humor that couldn’t be more welcome in the current summer avalanche of teen movies.
How gratifying to hear once again dialogue that crackles with wit and humor (and doesn’t even require subtitles!).
