Director Rip Torn must have been under the delusion he was making an interesting experimental film like COMING APART which he starred in 20 years earlier. Wrong-o, buddy boy! Watching Whoopi Goldberg spout inane dialogue for 90 minutes is not my idea of great entertainment. Shot like a one-act play this film will try anybody's patience for failed cinematic flotsam. This film reminded me of a better film shot in a similar style, Chuck Vincent's DERANGED. Watch that one instead, if you can find it.
