The Intervention is an expertly crafted dramedy, helmed by the realistic portrayals of lost adults and a particularly excellent performance by Melanie Lynskey.
Clea DuVall’s Big Chill-inspired film The Intervention may not be overly ambitious, but it’s told with conviction and charm.
Somewhere between the near middle aged malaise of The Big Chill and the twentysomething malaise of St. Elmo’s Fire lies About Alex, a mostly forgettable film about estrangedfriends coming back together to help a buddy in need while learning important life lessons in the process.
