Heights (2005)

Several characters whose paths cross: a lawyer who is about to be married to a struggling photographer; a writer/journalist who is writing an article about a famous photographer from the point of view of the latter's ex-lovers; a prestigious stage director and actress; a struggling actor; and a few minor ones.

The text doesn't receive a cinematic shape in accordance to its melodramatics; what we get instead is sleepy naturalism. I don't like the ending either, it's contrived to wrap up things in a happy fashion, thus pretty much nullifying the drama.

Rating: 30
