Movie Haiku:We could use our 50 words just naming cast members in this fascinating kaleidoscope based on Raymond Carver’s LA stories. The screenplay is a marvel, with 22 major character parts perfectly drawn & eloquently interwoven. The accidents & coincidences, betrayals & reconciliations of modern life – ironic laughter & heartbreaking tears.
