The Company

directed by:
Robert Altman
starring: Neve
Campbell; Malcolm McDowell; James Franco

Jane says: “THE COMPANY was pretty awful in my estimation.
No character development, just situations playing out in often unrealistic
ways. (Why did Neve’s character have to waitress, yet had a pretty fabulous
apartment? Yeah, it was by the L, but it had a whirlpool, for God’s sake!)
The final dance should have been set up to be a disaster, not a success
– who are they kidding with that snake garbage?! And Neve falls and breaks
whatever it is she broke, yet seems pretty blase about the whole thing….shouldn’t
she have been devastated?

“Malcolm McDowell was fun but the roll was such a caricature.
It was interesting watching the rehearsal process and the talented dancers,
but as a whole
the film was a wasted opportunity. Altman once again proved he is incredibly
erratic. He vacillates between making brilliant and mundane films.”
