Short Cuts

FROM TWO AMERICAN MASTERS COMES A MOVIE LIKE NO OTHER

Many loosely connected characters cross paths in this film, based on the stories of Raymond Carver. Waitress Doreen Piggot accidentally runs into a boy with her car. Soon after walking away, the child lapses into a coma. While at the hospital, the boy's grandfather tells his son, Howard, about his past affairs. Meanwhile, a baker starts harassing the family when they fail to pick up the boy's birthday cake.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.
