The Safety Of Objects (2001) 6/10

Starring : Glenn Close, Dermot Mulroney, Patricia Clarkson, Joshua Jackson
Director : Rose Troche
Running Time : 115 mins

A number of neighbouring families, each trying to cope with the problems in their lives in their own unique ways, find themselves borught together in the lead up to a catastrophe that will affect them all.

This is really a movie where nothing important happens. There's no real direction for the movie, other than the eventual connection between the disparate families through the death of a family member, and this makes the eventual disaster and funeral feel incredibly tacked on. Avoid this if you like movies with plots and directions that don't read like a substandard soap opera as, although there are some interesting moments, this feels more like an episode of a TV show than an actual movie.
