As disturbingly funny as it is audaciously empathetic, auteur of unease todd solondz's portrait of damaged souls reaching out for connection reveals the existential void underneath middle-class suburban normalcy. An extraordinary ensemble cast-including philip seymour hoffman, jane adams, lara flynn boyle, ben gazzara, and dylan baker-embodies an array of loosely connected new jersey deviants, depressives, and misfits, among them a frustrated phone-sex pest, an all-american dad concealing his paedophilic urges, and a lonely woman with a grisly secret, all of whom want just one thing: to be loved. One of the most controversial films of the 1990s, the unflinching happiness unnerves precisely because it dares to see the humanity in those most often denied it.
