Review
A star rating of 3 out of 5.
Adam Smith
Adapted by Patrick Marber from his own achingly modish hit play, this all-star relationship drama follows a quartet of absurdly beautiful London urbanites played by Julia Roberts, Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Clive Owen (the latter pair were Oscar-nominated). As the group's love lives intertwine, they inflict emotional damage on each other, both deliberately and accidentally. The performances are as warm as the stagey dialogue will allow, with Owen the standout as aggressive consultant Larry, while Mike Nichols's superficial but elegant direction and Stephen Goldblatt's glossy cinematography give the story a sheen of sophistication. The whole thing still feels a bit stagebound, but it's an intelligent piece that could have you hating the entire cast - and maybe that's the whole idea.
