Between Us

amerindie   Julia Stiles

Pretty unpleasant low-budget project. Four college friends - two couples - reconnect and embark on several extremely contentious encounters which make them and us squirm.

This seemed like a filmed play. There wasn't enough material to persuade us that these people could ever have been friends in the first place. All four characters are jerks. We get to watch scenes where they act very badly toward each other in every possible combination. This gave the actors the chance for meaty scenes but left us shaking our heads bewildered and anxious to get away from these people.

Zero fun...and not enough insight to justify the effort.
