...posters, and the rooms seem too perfectly contrived. While red is normally a color used on camera to draw attention to an actress in a scene or emphasize a particular state of emotion in a drama, the women in All About My Mother are continuously cloaked in red.

Several of the analysts' cubicles sport posters of scantily clad women, advertisements for a Web site called Bikini.com. "You get a bunch of 22, 23-year old alpha males, you're going to get a certain environment," an analyst tells...
