This has a fine cast and an interesting, thought-provoking script - but just doesn't work on film - there's really no visual engagement - boring sets, boring costuming - and, well, rather tedious non-stop talking.
Aside from acknowledging the that the dialogue is cerebral - weighty topics - the characters are ALL basically unhappy in denial about their own toxic narcissism - altho the Rachel Hunter character does enunciate some down-to-earth common sense, i.e. A character who seems to have some sense that there is a whole world out of there outside of the L. A. bubble of underemployed adults interminably fixated on their own problems like eternal Peter Pan pre-pubescent tweenagers.
Ah well, is what it is - but it ain't much. :-)
