Review of Dangerous Liaisons (1988) by Lilian W — 05 Aug 2015

This would've been a flawless erotic drama if it weren't for the fact that period films and American accent just don't mix. The lighting, the costumes and the music were all spot on but then the actors open their mouths and I'm immediately put off.

Having said that, there were a couple of brilliant performances here, particularly Glenn Close who is as formidable as ever. John Malkovitch, on the other hand is as always, trying to hard that he pushes himself from brilliant to over the top.

The existence of Keanu Reeves in this film makes me feel sorry for him.
