A good movie

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but I was really attracted by the all-star female cast. Basically, the movie itself is a typical hyperlink feature. For those who don’t know, hyperlink cinema is where the characters or action reside in separate stories, but a connection or influence between those disparate stories is slowly revealed to the audience. I usually like this genre but the major flaw (especially concerning this movie) is that you sometimes end up with some several half-baked stories instead of a fully fleshed one. Still, even though it was nothing really amazing, I really enjoyed this movie. Indeed, the cast was very good (Glenn Close, Cameron Diaz, Calista Flockhart, Kathy Baker, Amy Brenneman, Valeria Golino, Holly Hunter) and all gave some strong performances. I was especially impressed by Cameron Diaz who was very convincing as a blind woman. Who thought she could be that good? It’s just too bad she wastes her time with her usual annoying hysterical chicks. I thought the directing was also very efficient and it was a really promising directing debut for Rodrigo Garcia , the son of the great Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez. To conclude, I thought it was a pretty good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
