The Script

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 1999)

I think the reason for this film's great success lies in the fact that it the first film in quite a while that gives it's audience a satisfying ending, the feeling that a wonderful tale has just been told. The sketch mentality pervades in the caldrons of collabrative writing. Structure gets subsumed in moments. But this film brings us back to the solid, thought-out script. It works backwards and forwards, smoothly, and as curious as a mobius strip. It's the first film in years where the script is the hero.
