Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: [It] has its own brawling vitality.
Fresh: Jennifer Jason Leigh and Miranda Richardson are synergetic perfection as social opposites thrown together for 24 hours in a 1934 hot town.
Fresh: It could never for an instant be mistaken for anything but a Robert Altman film, and that counts for a lot.
Rotten: Would someone throw a net over Jennifer Jason Leigh? She's at it again.
