Simpatico (1999)
7/10
More European than Hollywood in style

This is not a great film but it deserves some attention.

I am an admirer of Sam Shepard the writer, not necessarily the actor. And even though his contribution to the film is not direct, his subjects make an impact on me. I am surprised the director did not involve him in the screenplay. Of course, Shepard is more a playwright than a screenplaywriter...

I loved all the main players, especially Sharon Stone. She had a small role that was impressive.

The camerawork of John Toll always impresses; this film was no exception.

One thing was clear; the direction lacked experience--but for a first film, the output is creditable.
