Review of Garden Party (2008) by Nels N — 22 Jan 2009
An alright attempt at telling several tales of trying to make it in L.A., with decent acting and okay direction. Individual characters and scenes are good but the script fails to connect them in interesting ways, with little conflict or tension.
Not as dark and edgy as it wants to be. The (unfavorable) comparison to Short Cuts is inevitable, but there is definite promise in the writing. Vinessa Shaw is a lot of fun to watch.
