...RIDICULOUSLY over-talented cast can only emphasize the mediocrity of the material they are performing. Martin becomes a slightly befuddled middle-aged Englishman, the most the role permits. Harris creates a magnificent portrait of a woman slowly eroding from half-hidden anguish whenever Peter and Helen Kroger (Colin Fox and Dana Ivey) drop by. Fox plays a man quiet enough and thoughtful enough that you could almost believe he has a radio transmitter in the basement (which he does). Ivy's accurate portrayal of a loudmouthed, gregarious American makes the audience cringe: it is doubly funny because she has convinced...

...very good film, beautifully shot and edited, intelligently structured and - to risk what will surely seem at first a highly inappropriate term -charming. Yes, charming. For its makers have resisted the most common of the temptations visited upon journalists when they attempt to penetrate the small, half-hidden worlds of the strangely obsessed: they do not patronize and they do not satirize.

...night, often shows up bleary-eyed at his office. Cartoons, antiwar slogans and newspaper clippings dot the walls around his desk; a plaque that reads HIZZONER DA MARE is on the door. Soglin often pads around his office in his stocking feet, presides over city-council meetings with a half-hidden smile that betrays his amusement at the proceedings...

...Lurking half-hidden behind the lower edge of the liver, the pear-shaped gall bladder serves as a storehouse for an essential substance-the thick, greenish bile (or gall) that the liver manufactures to aid in the long and complex process of digestion. In the young, the gall bladder usually stays healthy and does its job quietly and uncomplainingly. By the time a man reaches his middle forties, his gall bladder becomes increasingly subject to infection (cholecystitis) or filling up with gallstones (cholelithiasis), or both...
