Six Degrees of Separation

Every once and awhile, seemingly always at the oddest of times, I finally sit down to watch one of those films that everyone's heard of, but no one has seen. And every once and awhile I find a film that... Full review

This movie has a bunch of monologues. I enjoy hearing Stockard talk. I loathed the ungrateful children throughout the movie. I enjoyed the apartment would have loved to see the houses they had "behind the sea" in Newport, RI. Overall I... Full review

Sorry, I cannot get on the bandwagon for this mess of a film. I just did not care one iota for it. Granted the acting all around is superior. But the plot, the storyline. Too improbable, too unrealistic, too far fetched... Full review

Fortunately, Donald Sutherland, Will Smith and especially Stockard Channing (reprising her Broadway character) are more than up to the task, giving a real boost to what is otherwise a rather simplistic yarn. This adaptation by John Guare of his award-winning play boasts some witty moments and is well-directed by Fred Schepisi ("A Cry in the Dark," "The Russia House"), but it would never work without the right players in the three lead roles. ...

Ultimately, Six Degrees of Separation will succeed or fail for the individual viewer based on their expectations and preferences. The only other player of note is Will Smith, who shows that he can do more than the silly comedy of a weekly television program. ... Full Review

Director Fred Schepisi films the movie like the Star Vehicle it is, seldom allowing the camera away from his lead actor (and, in fact, the film slows down badly in the few scenes in which Smith's not on screen). Having never seen what's now considered Will Smith's triumph, Ali , I can't say how well he's developed as an actor since Six Degrees of Separation . ... Full Review

She blends practiced jokery and nascent poetry, while Schepisi's opening up of the action, and his alternately grand and intimate camera, enrich Guare's shrewd yet emotional dialogue. Channing's brilliant performance strikes to the core of things -- watching her makes you hope she'll have more to do this year on "The West Wing. ... Full Review
