There's at least one God-tier sequence involving Elaine May falling in a hole that distracts somewhat from the fact that for the most part this is shot and lit like a daytime soap opera.

Rated 17 Sep 2020

Thoroughly odd comic thriller/new age satire with a supremely snarky Elaine May in a role written for her by daughter Jeannie Berlin, who's great early on as a needy hooker. Despite echoes of DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN and the like, it reminded me more of a Jane Bowles story. But the gags and turns probably needed a tighter and more dynamic style, particularly toward the end--one crucial bit falls completely flat. Still a consistently interesting curio, and they don't often come with better casts
