Have you ever overheard a bizarre conversation between 2 or 3 people and despite the fact that you find the words bizarre there is something interesting? You can't tear your ear away? Well, that's basically what happens here.
We are in the company of a small group who lead very unconventional lives. It's hard to watch all of it and it can be confusing and nauseating but you can't stop. All of the actors/actress' do a very good job here-especially and not surprisingly Silvia Miles. The way she turns her head in frustration while rolling her eyes upward-perfect! She nailed her character. Joe also does a very good job as does Pat Ast, perfect in her role as the concierge of a small Hollywood Motel.
At times the film suffers from poor editing and maybe some rough acting but you believe these people. That's the uneasy part. Watch this with an open mind and I'll bet you want to see it again at some point. I drag it out once a year to watch and am always glad I did.
