Baby N Easily Robert Altman’s most vividly incredible films. The way he interweaves so many stories and relatable and complex characters is almost hard to understand how he accomplished this. One of my all time favorite films and inspired the likes of PTA and Wes Anderson. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Michael M Certain things are masterfully done, such as the cinematography and the acting. Other things are goofy - such as all the nude scenes, I didn't see the point of it, I could have done without seeing Huey Lewis' penis. The stories themselves - meh. I guess that's not the fault of the director, but rather the writer whose stories this was based on. Every character in this film has got issues, for most of them its due to a lack of integrity - bitter, cheating people; self-absorbed people who don't care about anyone. The only character who seemed decent was Andie MacDowell, yet a tragedy befell her, a worse tragedy than what befell the other slimy characters ...what's the point of that? Well, obviously the point that they're making is either the absurdity of life or the absurdity of the shallow people in the film. Either way this type of message is very one-sided and fails because it doesn't show the other side. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Petros T Despite its big runtime, "Short Cuts" is engaging from beginning to end. Thematically-wise, it's dense and layered, and it boasts great performances from its incredible ensemble cast. Its biggest achievement is the way all the different stories and characters are balanced and interconnected. Even though they don't all receive the same attention, they remain interesting and realistic throughout and they play their part in the - hilarious, upsetting and thought-provoking - grand scheme of things. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Pam K I didn't see what the connections were. Not very enjoyable. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Jerod S So many whackos in LA! Cast is loaded with A-listers whose stories intertwine here and there...but mostly its a motley cru mess of short narratives of nuts. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Shioka O Meticulously controlled the assemble cast and stories, all loosely connected and happened in somewhere in LA. It's getting interesting after 30min passed and glueing until the end because you can't expect how it's gonna end. Casey's case is the most moving. I'm kinda feel cheated by the earthquake ending though. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/22 Full Review Read all reviews
