Review of Tape

Tape (2001)
Wow, what a surprise!
29 September 2002
Tape was a great movie! I forget the reason I rented it, but it had something to do with my seeing a brief glimpse of it on Ebert & Roeper and happy that I liked the cast. What a wonderful movie! It reminded me of Blair Witch Project- low budget, biting dialogue, interesting premise, great success. This movie is for those movie-goers that are sick of the pretentious, blithering, big-epic Hollywood nonsense that we see every Friday. Tape is an interesting, psychological look which is driven forth by the great, raw talent of the cast (Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Uma Thurman), and by the focus of the screenplay. You think you'd get bored, but you don't. As the dialogue rolls along, you see the essence of each character, and are sucked into their worlds. I greatly enjoyed Tape. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but I give it two thumbs up! :)
