Review of Oleanna (1994) by Felipe V — 12 Sep 2008
While it's not as good as the play, this is a really good film adaptation of David Mamet's masterpiece. The dialogue is rich and complex, and the suspense will have you on the edge. William H. Macy delivers the best performance here, while Debra Eisenstadt does the best that she can. I found her performance to be a bit flat, but it gets stronger near the end. This is one of those two characters/one setting films, so for some, it may require patience. For everyone else, it's a treat.
Directed by David Mamet.
