Dose of Reality

A low-budget "Mamet" play set in a bar in which three people talk about their lives and stuff. It’s admirable for the tight budget, and certain twists come unexpected, but lead Fairuza Balk, MIA from the zeitgest for a while, acts circles around her co-stars, who always seem to be playing catch-up. This unbalance makes some sections of the movie tedious, and one wonders when the movie will get to the point. Still, I can see people getting drawn into this and being pleasantly amused by the ending.
