King of the Corner (2004)
Well-Done, Witty and Poignant Character Study
13 July 2005 - 3 out of 3 users found this review helpful.
I screened this film at its Kansas City opening and found it an enjoyable and revealing tale of family life and a slice of modern Americana with more that one surprise and twist along the way. It is a film of depth and subtle textures that engages the audience by layers as it explores the personalities and relationships that propel the central characters through their lives. Peter Reigert and Isabella Rossellini turn in sensitive performances with a wonderful counterpoint provided by Eli Wallach in the role of the family patriarch.
Reigert's direction is cogent and trim, based on a literate, thoughtful script by Gerald Shapiro.
