Yet, it's Stockard Channing, recognized most for her role as Rizzo in Grease, who steals the movie. Quisa metamorphoses from a pretentious elitist to a melodramatic softy. And it's a step up. Channing's stage performance of the same character earned her critical acclaim. Her screen delivery won her an Oscar nomination.
All praise is well-deserved.
She doesn't falter here. We watch Channing convincingly change Quisa through a series of events. What baffles me most about the film is the choice of title. I like it in theory. The idea, that everyone on Earth is separated by six other people, is truly intriguing.
