this be a gem of a film . direct by craig lucas ( i love his longtime companion and also star this film star and campbell scott ) it be adapt from the play center around a young screenwriter who sell his story for a cool million . there be condition which i would not divulge . see the movie . this be a love triangle in a strange scenario . lucas bring many moment in this film by a closeup . while go into the internet chat room and he pull out deep and dark thought from his lead player . i think peter sarsgaard and whom i recently admire in jarhead and do a remarkable job with a complex and difficult role . he bring a depth to his character . patricia clarkson and too and be outstanding . campbell scott bring a fine performance to the screen . these three player work well together . bounce off each other like a pin ball machine . scott redeem himself with this a producer and actor from that bad movie he make lush . i be not too familiar with clarkson work but will certainly look forward to other film after view this . sarsgaard be remarkable in jarhead and doesn not disappoint me in this one . hat off to the three star and lucas for a fine job .
