Menage a Trois is truly a charming little jewel of a film -- a lovely story, nicely paced, and thoroughly engaging from start to finish. I was particularly impressed with the fact that while the director clearly attended to polishing details, she never lost sight of the "big picture" -- so to speak. The film always knew what it was and where it was going.
As an opera lover, I knew Menotti's "The Telephone," but must confess that I was not thinking about those origins as I watched this film. The cell phone is the cultural home of this rendition -- a phenomenon that has taken over and changed the behavior of more than one generation.
Could Kimberly Wetherell be the next Nora Ephron? I'm looking forward to her next film -- feature length, I hope!
