Too much of everything
Simply Perfect
As Good As It Gets
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I started watching, as a guy, to be titillated; but found myself falling in love with the two main characters - especially Niven's character (Rebecca). So often, beautiful women have hard, or too 'sculptured' faces (and bodies). But these two, esp. Rebecca, had kind - and sweet faces, that were at the same time stunning, hypnotic. I suppose that's subjective. And Rebecca's body seemed so real, not Photoshop'd. At first I thought the plot was unbelievable ... but then read an article in the Telegraph (UK) that escort services that provide women for other women are a burgeoning business. The clients are much like Rebecca: older, well off, and in doubt about their sexuality.Nicole Conn does too much cutting - but I guess that is her signature -and the background music is a bit 'camp' as they used to say: but lends a certain unusual aura. Very different kind of movie. Also, prereqs for me to any film is that: 1) I want to know what's going to happen next 2) I find the characters sympathetic. Both were met.
I sympathize with the main character, her husband is a terrible man and lover. However this movie has typical feminist moments and serious man hating. I have noticed in some if not most feminist films, the horrible husband is always the same. A privileged woman, who does not work and understand the stress of being a constant provider. Of course he is also a typical child predator as he assaults his daughter. Its like they portray every man as a sexually mature 5 year old that just does not get female sexuality. The sons are emasculated and the one good man , Paris's ex husband is very effeminate. Why can't lesbians just make a movie about there love and erotica, with out saying men are all inferior lovers and there the true gatekeepers of love and intimacy. Besides that though there are many good points to the movie I wish they would have emphasized on. I do like the tension as the main character finally tells her best friends her deepest secret. I do like the build up of the conflict she has, where she wants to have sex with Paris intensly but is torn up in contradiction. Though the drama is overdone and a bit sappy to the point of frustration and comedy. It took her 3- 4 times to finally have sex with Paris and when they did it was great, really erotic and hot and displaying all that repressed emotion. I think I would give this movie a 6, but take away 4 for all the man hating stereotypes. Otherwise I would have given this movie a 9 or 10. Come on lets do better and stop making so many man hating movies.
I absolutely LOVED A Perfect Ending. I bought it because I'm a Nicole Conn fan, but was amazed at how quickly I fell in love with these characters. You can actually feel the angst that both Rebecca and Paris are feeling in their individual lives, as well as how much each is longing to be loved. Each woman found it in the most unexpected place, with each other. I love this cast. Obviously, the main characters are both beautiful actresses with impressive acting chops, but I wasn't expecting to love the ancillary characters as much as I did. The husband, the kids...Morgan Fairchild as the Madam with a heart of gold...all of it! As soon as I watched, I couldn't tell people fast enough! I sent a private Facebook message to everyone I knew that appreciated great cinema. I'll continue to spread the word and CANNOT wait to see what's next from this incredible filmmaker!!
This is not a "must see" film. It is also not a "piece of crap". Obviously, this film is somewhat polarizing to produce the disparate reviews it has received here. And just as obviously, some of the people who watched this film have an anti-gay bias that makes one wonder "why the hell were they watching this film?"There are aspects of the film that I liked. And many I did not. I do not want to be too dismissive of "A Perfect Ending" because I feel the writer/director invested a lot of care in this film and tried to produce a beautiful product.Many of the things I found off-putting were intentional. For example, the editing that was sometimes choppy. The music that, in places, was designed to create an air of the mysterious and sacred. These are artistic choices that sometimes did not work for me. Often, they took me outside the film, especially since the pace was slow. The pace itself could have been brisker in parts.Also, Jessica Clark (who plays the escort Paris) spoke with such a slow, deliberate pace it was distracting. It reminds me of Nichole Kidman in "Eyes Wide Shut", but Ms. Kidman's character was under the influence when she spoke that way.Lastly, I found the sexual politics of the film annoying. Often they are inserted where it does not serve the story. All in all, this is an average film by a filmmaker who could probably produce a much better product.
