Good but overlong...

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 1998)

2 hours and 18 minutes seems a little bit long for a movie which was essentially nothing more than an excuse for a few very good actors to deliver a few very good lines. Most of what you can get in terms of entertainment value out of this movie could be gained from watching the highlights of the best quotes.
All of the actors did extremely well with their roles, and deserved their awards and nominations, and the screenplay had a lot of good lines but could have used a bit more plot. I enjoyed this movie as I watched it but had a sour taste in my mouth after it was over. This is a pretty good movie, but not as good as it could have been.
