Review of Short Cuts (1993) by William A — 02 Jan 2016

At three hours long, this seemed a bit daunting but it was easy to get through as it is a good film with a massive cast of famous faces. It contained so many different stories that it's hard to pin a genre to it.

All the characters were aquainted in some way and as the story hopped from one family situation to another there seemed to be nice little link which you had to spot, this was a fun gimick which I noticed fairly early on and helped to keep my attention.

Another was that the film starts by showing LA being sprayed by insecticide and in a state of quarantine. You obviously think this is gonna be some sort of disaster movie but it's relevance to the story is a bit of a red herring.
