Review of The Reception (2005) by Lawrence Van Gelder for The New York Times — 16 Dec 2015
It's an intimate chamber piece, dialogue-heavy and at times claustrophobic, but the four central characters are so deftly sketched, and their shifting alliances so intricately choreographed, that the film never feels talky or staged.
The actors are consistently excellent.
