Why Diane? Why?
Diane Keaton is spiraling out of control. What was once a respectable career, has now become a laughingstock. Except no one’s laughing. Actually, lots are, and that’s disappointing. She’s sold out, replacing real talent with stupid, idiotic role after stupid idiotic role.
Her newest film Smother is just another in a long line of LCD comedies. She plays, surprise, an overprotective, clingy mother who has a marriage falling apart so she moves in with her married son and begins to ruin his. Now this movie shows flashes of promise. If only it would be a little more mature. How old is Keaton? Can’t she act her age instead of the prat-fall happy teenager she’s become in recent years.
Anyway, there is a plus to Smother. The poster is amazing. Using bold yellow and a vintage movie poster kind of look. It reminds me of her work with Woody Allen. Too bad it isn’t.
