Uneven.

Rating: 6/10 (26 June 2016)

I think the main issue I had was that most of the actors seem to have been directed to talk in a flat, monotone-like voice. I'm guessing this was done in order to make the characters show that they are cool and sophisticated...or at least to make other characters *think* they are such. Thing is, when you have to hear movie characters talking this way for most of a movie's running time, it becomes boring itself after a while. Or so I found.
Then there were at least two contradictory moments. The main character is supposed to be a hygiene freak, yet he seems to have no problem 1: having sex in his work clothes; then 2: hitching up his pants up without showing the slightest interest in cleaning his private parts. Really? Later on, after having made it clear what a clean freak he is, he flicks a cigarette ash on the floor of his office. Really??
These may seem like trivial moments to some, but I found them distracting.
What did I like about the movie? Chloe Sevigny, Reese Witherspoon and Willem Dafoe. They were the only actors/characters who seemed to act like real people.
So, I give it a 6 out of 10. At the same time, however, I have to give props to any movie that's older than fifteen years that's as highly rated on IMDb as this one is.
