Cigarette smoke and laughter... The hollow clink of martini glasses and biting one-liners... This was the famed lunch scene at the Algonquin Hotel's Round Table of the 1920's, home to a circle of mutually supportive young artists that defined the heyday of New York sophistication and a literate era of wit and intellect. At the heart of the round table sat Mrs. Dorothy Parker (Jennifer Jason Leigh), one of the sharpest, most biting wits of the past century. But beneath the raucous laughter is a darker and richer tale filled with passionate affairs, friendship and tragedy, all captured in this striking masterpiece of unrequited love and self-destructive impulses from acclaimed director Alan Rudolph.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is the star of this film, which is about a certain form of decadence in the jazz age of the United States, as if an entire generation doesn't know where to go and therefore isn't looking for a path, just a way to avoid that path. Surprisingly, it's not as interesting as one would think, unfortunately not even in terms of the acting.
