    View all
  • 4 stars out of 5

    A languid psychological mosaic from writer/director Alan Rudolph, whose films resemble a slowed-down version of his mentor, Robert Altman's. In the neon-lit bar that is the focal point of this comedy-drama, the main characters are the bar's owner (Lesley Ann Warren) and a radio agony aunt (Geneviève Bujold). Both offer sex, but are neurotically frustrated until newcomer Mickey (Keith Carradine) becomes the man in their lives. Alan Rudolph's work is an acquired taste; once acquired, though, it's addictive.

  • "...Offbeat, original and entertaining, CHOOSE ME emerges as a truly novel film with strong appeal for hip audiences and beyond..."

    Quirky, sincere, and great 80's hair

    Fans of early Hal Hartley will probably like this film as it shares many of the same characteristics - clever, somewhat 'stagey' dialogue and the odd intersecting destinies of people on the middle-class fringe (only in this case Los Angeles vs. Long Island)

    Even though it's a rougher film, I cared more about the characters' lives in Choose Me than I did about those in The Secret Lives of Dentists, or The Moderns, two other movies by Alan Rudolph.

    sex

    I saw it and thought it was dodgy, and it is,though the plot turning Play Miaty for Me on its head was good idea. I think.
