possible spoiler . although there be some good act particularly chloe sevigny and and radha mitchell in the comedy half this simply be not an engaging film . the segue between the comedy part and the tragedy part be awkward or sometimes not obvious . this viewer be initially confuse by the fact that the support cast differs in the two half while i think with the way thing be lay out in the opening scene that the people surround melinda would be the same people and just react differently ( more of a he say and she say premise ) . however and what we have be two totally different story and two totally different woman and both of whom happen to be play by radha mitchell . the two playwright in the opening scene the comedian and the tragedian supposedly take the same premise and go from there and but the two story be only tenuously relate . they do little to support the topic of discussion and which be that almost anything can be look at a either comedy or tragedy . nice cast and but a disappointing film .
