Altman usually is brilliant, but after many viewings of "Beyond Therapy" it does not come together, as a comedy. And I wanted it to be great.
As usual, Altman, records the sound, in a real life conversational style, you have to strain to hear the lines. A second viewing will get you into the comedy, but you will have to work for it.
Odd casting left me cold, but they did well, especially Glenda Jackson, and I loved her best.
One of Ms. Jackson's last film appearances, before becoming a PM in England.
Clever shots, in the window from the outside, was realistic, as you felt you were actually overhearing therapy sessions. Bein a family therapist myself, I found the story especially, amusing.
They must have had a lot of fun, making this film.
I wish I could have joined in the party, but felt remotely distant from the action, as an uninvited guest. Stage play originally, which had a short run in LA.
Eat before you see this film, as the film's story will leave you hungry for dinner.
