great performance by madeline kahn and edie falco and as well a the rest of the cast push this fine independent movie . the story revolve around one day on long island in the life of a half dozen or so people and connect by various relationship ( family and school and work ) . from the depress would be filmmaker to the talentless and but ever hopeful and aspire actress the movie find a way to take you deep inside the character without really let you know much about their life beyond this single day . the eclipse at the heart of the story allow for some great lighting effect on the black and white film .
