Meek's exceeded my expectations but yeah I'd prob rank it at the bottom of those.

Mad Housewife I sought out bc of pacinoyes mention in the New MeToo Classics thread! Unfortunately hadda watch a letterboxed stream (even though it really works in that 1.33:1 boxy frame) and knowing nothing about it I kinda loved it. It feels a bit like pre Woody Allen in its satire and themes of infidelity, social mobility, etc....and very well acted, cleverly edited....

Awesome - glad you liked.

That film was made by Frank Perry - who never gets mentioned on here - and if he does its negatively (Mommie Dearest) but who made some fascinating pics over his long career (David and Lisa, (the terrific) The Swimmer, Mad Housewife, Last Summer).
